Chapter 39 AAA Server
Bind DN
A bind DN is used to authenticate with an LDAP/AD server. For example a bind DN of
cn=zywallAdmin allows the ZyWALL to log into the LDAP/AD server using the user
name of zywallAdmin. The bind DN is used in conjunction with a bind password. When a
bind DN is not specified, the ZyWALL will try to log in as an anonymous user. If the bind
password is incorrect, the login will fail.
