Adding a New Entry
* 
The Windchill Directory Server control panel allows you to view, add, modify, and delete entries. PTC does not recommend using the Windchill Directory Server control panel for managing Windchill generated user, group, and organization entries. These entries should be managed through normal Windchill interfaces. The use of the control panel to add, modify and delete entries should be limited to manual repair or debug functions.
For details on managing Windchill users, group, and organization entries, see the Windchill Basic Administration Guide.
The following steps explain how to use the control panel to add a new entry.
1. Start the control panel. For more information, see Starting the Control Panel.
2. Verify that the Windchill Directory Server is running. If it is not, start it.
3. Select Directory Data > Manage Entries.
The Manage Entries window opens and displays the base distinguished names.
4. From the drop-down list next to Base DN, select the base distinguished name under which you want to add a new entry.
5. In the left pane, choose the entry that will be the parent of the entry you are adding.
6. From the Entries menu, choose the kind of entry you want to create.
The following options are available:
New User
New Group
New Organizational Unit
New Organization
New Domain
* 
Since PTC recommends that you create users, groups, and organizations from the Windchill interface, use the related options only for debugging operations.
A window opens, displaying fields for the attributes that apply to the kind of entry you selected.
7. Enter values for the entry into the fields of the window.
8. Click OK to create the new entry.
9. A related window opens and displays the success or failure of the operation. To display additional information such as the command line used, click Details. You may need to resize your window to see all the information.
10. Click Close.
