Active Directory / Ldap - ZyXEL Communications NXC2500 User Manual

Base DN
A base DN specifies a directory. A base DN usually contains information such as the name of an
organization, a domain name and/or country. For example, o=MyCompany, c=UK where o means
organization and c means country.
Bind DN
A bind DN is used to authenticate with an LDAP/AD server. For example a bind DN of cn=zyAdmin
allows the NXC to log into the LDAP/AD server using the user name of zyAdmin. The bind DN is used
in conjunction with a bind password. When a bind DN is not specified, the NXC will try to log in as
an anonymous user. If the bind password is incorrect, the login will fail.

24.2 Active Directory / LDAP

Use the Active Directory or LDAP screen to manage the list of AD or LDAP servers the NXC can
use in authenticating users.
Note: Both the Active Directory and LDAP screens, while on separate tabs, are identical in
configuration. This section applies to both equally.
