!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] is a [LDAP ModifyRequest Operation] within an [Modify Request]

If [{$pagename}] then there must be an [attributeType] description and a set of values. 

If the specified [attributeType] does not already exist in the target entry, then it will be added with all of the provided values. 

If the [attributeType] does exist, then the provided values will be added to the existing values for that attribute. 

Under normal circumstances, a [Modify Request] cannot be used to add a value that already exists in the entry.

!! [LDIF Examples|LDIF Example] for [{$pagename}]
The [{$pagename}] [ChangeType] is used to __add__ new entries to a [DIB] via [LDIF] and is used the same as the [Add Request]. An [{$pagename}] record requires values for all of the mandatory [attributeTypes] of the [TargetDN]'s base class. The [objectClass] attribute must be set to the base class or to the [SUP] of the base class.

An LDIF file with multiple add/change records must first add the container entries and then the leaf entries that will reside in the container (unless Forward Referencing is enabled). For example:
%%prettify 
{{{

dn: cn=johndoe, ou=provo, ou=users, o=novell
