4.2.5. Search User Bind DN
The bind DN is the user on the external LDAP server permitted to search the LDAP directory within the
defined search base. When the DN is returned, the DN and passed password are used to authenticate
the CloudPlatform user with an LDAP bind. A full discussion of bind DNs is outside the scope of our
documentation. The following table shows some examples of bind DNs.
LDAP Server Example Bind DN
ApacheDS cn=Administrator,dc=testing,ou=project,ou=org
Active Directory CN=Administrator, OU=testing, DC=company,
DC=com
4.2.6. SSL Keystore Path and Password
If the LDAP server requires SSL, you need to enable it in the ldapConfig command by setting the
parameters ssl, truststore, and truststorepass. Before enabling SSL for ldapConfig, you need to get
the certificate which the LDAP server is using and add it to a trusted keystore. You will need to know
the path to the keystore and the password.
