Authentication (II)
User DN. This is the LDAP identier of the account in your
domain which the Content Server will use to identify the
user who is trying to log in. This account must have read
membership privileges, that is, privileges to retrieve users’
‘memberOf’ attributes from Active Directory using LDAP. You
can use an existing account or create a new special account
with those privileges. This account does not need to be
inside the search tree specied in Base DN.
The User DN (Distinguished name) is a unique name for this
account. It consists of:
CN (Common Name) of the special account
•
OU (Organizational Unit)
•
DC (Domain Object Class)
•
User DN examples: CN=user_account,OU=employees,DC=
company,DC=com CN=user_account,OU=marketing,DC=c
ompany,DC=com
Please note that DNs can have many more than four parts.
Base DN. This is the search base which the Content
Server uses to search for user records. The Content
Server will search the object specied by the Base DN
(Distinguished Name) and any objects beneath it.
The Base DN is a unique name for this container. It
consists of OU, CN, and DN components.
Base DN examples:
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com OU=marketing,
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com
In the examples above, OU ‘marketing’ is
contained within the OU ‘employees’, so
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com will identify all
employees of the company including the Marketing
department, and OU=marketing,OU=employees,DC=c
ompany,DC=com will identify users from the Marketing
department only.
