createObjects
The createObjects tag creates new entries in the specified LDAP directory service.
Before executing this tag, you must create an Info*Engine group that contains elements that define the LDAP entries. Each element must have the following attributes:
• dn—The distinguished name of the entry.
• objectClass—The object class to associate with the entry. Determines valid values from the directory schema configured for the LDAP server.
You can include additional attributes in each element, if they are required by the object class.
You specify the required Info*Engine input group by nesting the
param tag in this tag block and providing the GROUP_IN parameter value. For more information, see the
param tag.
You also specify the required parameter by nesting the param tag in this tag block.

Example
The following example declares that the page uses tags from the Info*Engine directory and core tag libraries and that the tags have the iedir and ie prefixes. The task tag block creates the group of elements used as input and the createObjects tag block creates LDAP entries in the “myHost.myCompany.com” directory service:
<%@ taglib uri="http://www.ptc.com/infoengine/taglib/core"
prefix="ie" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://www.ptc.com/infoengine/taglib/directory"
prefix="iedir" %>
<ie:task uri="ldaptask.xml">
<ie:param name="GROUP_OUT" data="ldap_group"/>
</ie:task>
<iedir:createObjects
uri="ldap://myHost.myCompany.com">
<iedir:param name="GROUP_IN" data="ldap_group"/>
</iedir:createObjects>
