Method: ActiveDirectory::Base#move

Defined in:
lib/active_directory/base.rb

#move(new_rdn) ⇒ Object

This method may one day provide the ability to move entries from container to container. Currently, it does nothing, as we are waiting on the Net::LDAP folks to either document the Net::LDAP#modrdn method, or provide a similar method for moving / renaming LDAP entries.
