Adding and modifying server entries

After you open a session with a directory service or interfaces, you can list, add, modify, and delete associated server entries.

NoteWhen you add or modify a server entry, dscp automatically creates or modifies both master and query lines. The master line and the query line of an interfaces file entry contain identical information.

Each server entry is made up of a set of attributes. When you add or modify a server entry, dscp prompts you for information about each attribute. Table 7-2 describes each attribute:
