Rename

> You can rename an object in a context by using `Context.rename()`.

> >     // Rename to Scott S
> >     ctx.rename("cn=Scott Seligman", "cn=Scott S");

> This example renames the object that was bound to `"cn=Scott Seligman"` to `"cn=Scott S"`. After verifying that the object got renamed, the program renames it to its original name (`"cn=Scott Seligman"`), as follows.

> >     // Rename back to Scott Seligman
> >     ctx.rename("cn=Scott S", "cn=Scott Seligman");

> For more examples on renaming of LDAP entries check out the Advanced Topics for LDAP users lesson.
