!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] is a [LDIF] directive (or [moddn]) is used to change the [RDN] of the [LDAP Entry] (rename or copy the entry) defined by the preceding dn: directive.
[{$pagename}] is the [LDIF] changeType directive for [ModifyDNRequest].
[{$pagename}] __MUST__ be followed by a [NewRDN] directive and may be followed by a [DeleteOldRDN] and a [NewSuperior] directive.
Typically depending on the [LDAP Server Implementation] you __CANNOT__ rename the [LDAP Entry] if the entry has one or more child entries.
!! [LDIF] [Examples] for [{$pagename}]:
%%prettify
{{{
dn: cn=Robert Ssmith,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
# following sequence renames the above DN to
# cn=Robert Smith,ou=people.dc=example,dc=com
# and deletes the entry
# cn=Robert Ssmith,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modrdn
newrdn: cn=Robert Smith
deleteoldrdn: 1
}}} /%
