String/Expression		 Specify the distinguished name (DN) of the entry to which a new attribute is added.
Note: DN uniquely identifies a certain entry and its position in the directory information tree (DIT) hierarchy. The DN of an LDAP entry is similar to the path of a file on a file system.

  • Disabled. Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
