TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

Base DN. This is the search base which the Content Server uses to search for user records. The Content Server will search the object specified by the Base DN (Distinguished Name) and any objects beneath it.

The Base DN is a unique name for this container. It consists of OU, CN, and DN components.

Base DN examples: OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com OU=marketing, OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com

In the examples above, OU ‘marketing’ is contained within the OU ‘employees’, so OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com will identify all employees of the company including the Marketing department, and OU=marketing,OU=employees,DC=c ompany,DC=com will identify users from the Marketing department only.

User DN. This is the LDAP identifier of the account in your domain which the Content Server will use to identify the user who is trying to log in. This account must have read membership privileges, that is, privileges to retrieve users’ ‘memberOf’ attributes from Active Directory using LDAP. You can use an existing account or create a new special account with those privileges. This account does not need to be inside the search tree specified in Base DN.

The User DN (Distinguished name) is a unique name for this account. It consists of:

CN (Common Name) of the special account

OU (Organizational Unit)

DC (Domain Object Class)

User DN examples: CN=user_account,OU=employees,DC= company,DC=com CN=user_account,OU=marketing,DC=c ompany,DC=com

Please note that DNs can have many more than four parts.
