Create an object with pdadmin

We can create an object in the domain with the pdadmin utility.

Steps

1. Log on to the domain as the domain administrator.

2. Use the object create command.

For example, to create the object named /Management/test-object that is an application container object (14):

pdadmin object create /Management/test-object “Test Object” 14 ispolicyattachable yes

The type can be one of the following object type categories:

0	Unknown
1	Secure domain
2	File
3	Executable program
4	Directory
5	Junction
6	WebSEAL server
7	Unused
8	Unused
9	HTTP server
10	Nonexistent object
11	Container object
12	Leaf object
13	Port
14	Application container object
15	Application leaf object
16	Management object
17	Unused

When creating an object, a type must be specified. We can select an appropriate category, or use any number to designate the object type and assign a meaning to it. If the ispolicyattachable option is omitted from the object create command, this command assumes that you intended to use the objectspace create command. An object space is created rather than an object.
