baseDN
leave the dnComps field blank, the server uses the base DN value to start its search in
the directory.

Specifies where in the publishing directory the Certificate Manager should start
dnComps
searching for an LDAP entry that matches the CA's or the end entity's information
(that is, the owner of the certificate).
The server uses the dnComps values to form an LDAP entry to begin a subtree search.
The server gathers values for these attributes from the certificate subject name and
uses the values to form an LDAP DN, which then determines where in the LDAP
directory the server starts its search. For example, if you set dnComps to use the O
and C attributes of the DN, the server starts the search from the O=<org>,
C=<country> entry in the directory, where <org> and <country> are replaced
with values from the DN in the certificate.
If you leave the dnComps field empty, the server checks the baseDN field and
searches the directory tree specified by that DN for entries matching the filter
specified by filterComps parameter values.
Permissible values: Valid DN components or attributes separated by commas.
Example: O,C
