Using the LDAP protocol this requires a ModRDN that would "move" the LDAP Entry. (See link for some examples)

Oracle also shows some simple JNDI examples using Context.rename()

Most LDAP Server Implementations do NOT support the ModifyDNRequest on an LDAP Entry which contain subordinate entries.

Some LDAP Server Implementation include a method to move containers. I am aware the these support moving containers, perhaps with some limitations:

  • Microsoft Active Directory
  • eDirectory
