tarantella object list_contents --name ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance"

Lists the objects that belong to the organization object in the organizational hierarchy.

tarantella object add_link \
  --name ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance" \
  --link ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/cn=Write-o-Win"

Adds a link to the Write-o-Win application to the organization's webtop. Objects may inherit webtop content from the organization, so Write-o-Win may appear on the webtops of many different users -- up to the entire organization.
