Binding to the Directory From Netscape Console
When you create or manage entries from the Directory Server Console, and when
you first access the Netscape Console, you are given the option to log in by
providing a bind DN and a password. This option lets you indicate who is
accessing the directory tree. This determines the access permissions granted to you,
and whether you can perform the requested operation.

You can log in with the Directory Manager DN when you first start the Netscape
Console. At any time, you can choose to log in as a different user, without having
