Name (--name) [domain component object]

Objects with this attribute

Usage

Object Manager Name In the box, type the name of the domain component. For example, com.
Command line --name name Replace name with the full TFN name of the object. For example, ".../_ens/dc=com".

Description

This attribute specifies the name of the domain component in the Tarantella datastore.

A domain component is a "container" of DNS names. For example, in the DNS name www.indigo-insurance.com, the domain components are indigo-insurance and com, and the domain component for com would contain the domain component for indigo-insurance.

Names can include any characters you want. However we recommend that you avoid using the backslash \ character, the plus + character and apostrophes in object names as this can cause problems. If you use a forward slash in an object name, you must backslash protect (escape) it.

On the command line, make sure you quote any names containing spaces.

Examples

--name ".../_ens/dc=com/dc=indigo-insurance"

Names the domain component indigo-insurance.
