Bulk Object Modification
Using LDAP Administrator you can easily add, modify, and deleteattributes for multiple LDAP objects at once.
Attribute Value References
When you update multiple entries or make templates for entrycreation, you may need to specify unique attribute values for eachentry that is updated or created.

Modifying Objects Using HTML View
HTML View provides a quick and efficient modification of LDAPentries representing information in a user-friendly manner andsupporting powerful attribute editors customized for a specificdata type and attribute syntax.
ManageDsaIT Control Support
In process of browsing a directory tree, the referral entriesthemselves remain invisible and thus unavailable for usermodification – an LDAP server they belong to just returns thereferral information.
