38.2.2 Distinguished Name (DN)

A DN uniquely identifies an entry in a directory. A DN consists of attribute-value pairs separated by commas. The leftmost attribute is the Relative Distinguished Name (RDN). This provides a unique name for entries that have the same “parent DN” (“cn=domain1.com, ou=Sales, o=MyCompany” in the following examples).

cn=domain1.com, ou = Sales, o=MyCompany, c=US cn=domain1.com, ou = Sales, o=MyCompany, c=JP

38.2.2.1 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.

38.2.2.2 Bind DN

A bind DN is used to authenticate with an LDAP/AD server. For example a bind DN of cn=zywallAdmin allows the ZyWALL to log into the LDAP/AD server using the user name of zywallAdmin. The bind DN is used in conjunction with a bind password. When a bind DN is not specified, the ZyWALL will try to log in as an anonymous user. If the bind password is incorrect, the login will fail.
