Adding Repository Objects using ADSIEdit

Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

You can also use ADSIEdit to create new objects in the repository using Action > New. Select the appropriate object type, then complete the wizard, which will prompt for required values and give you an opportunity to enter optional ones. (You can change any of these later by editing the object.)

Creating an AD LDS user

  • To create an AD LDS user, expand the CN=AD LDS container, then create a new user object:
    • The cn is the only required attribute.
    • After creating the user, you can give it the appropriate permissions by editing the appropriate object in the CN=Roles container and double-clicking on the member attribute, which will give you a dialog box where you can add users to that role. Adding your new user to the Administrators role will give it administrative access to the repository, for example.
    • You can also give your new user more specific permissions by editing the ACLs for specific parts of the repository. See the AD LDS documentation for more information.
