LDAP Parameter Setup
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol for querying and
modifying directory services running over TCP/IP. The WSG starts an LDAP session by con-
necting to an LDAP server. Then it sends operation requests to the server, and the server sends
responses in return.
An LDAP directory is a tree of directory entries and follows the structure below:
• An entry consists of a set of attributes.
• An attribute has a name and one or more values.
Each entry has a unique name; the distinguished name (DN). DN consists of its relative dis-
tinguished name (RDN) constructed from some attribute(s) in the entry, followed by the parent
entry's DN. Think of the DN as a full filename and the RDN as a relative filename in a folder.
An entry can look like this:
dn: cn=John Ericson,dc=company,dc=com
cn: John Ericson
givenName: John
sn: Ericson
telephoneNumber: +1 888 555 6789
mail: [email protected]
dn is the name of the entry; it is not an attribute nor part of the entry. “cn=John Ericson” is the en-
try's RDN, and “dc=company, dc=com” is the DN of the parent entry. The other lines show the at-
tributes in the entry. Attribute names are typically mnemonic strings, like “cn” for common name,
“dc” for domain component, “mail” for e-mail address and “sn” for surname. .
