LDAP directory – configuration example
Access to the LDAP server
server configuration. BaseDN is a special LDAP name which represents an object including its position in a hier-
archical directory.
BaseDN is used to define which section of the hierarchical LDAP database is to be searched. Access to the entire
directory can be enabled (e.g. to the corporate directory) or only to a subdirectory (e.g. the directory of a particular
organisational unit).
BaseDN is created from series of RDNs (Relative Distinguished Names) found by walking up the directory infor-
mation tree.
The BaseDN is specified as follows:
• The directory hierarchy is specified from left to right from the lowest level to the highest, e.g. object,
organisational unit, organisation, domain.
• A hierarchical level has the following format: keyword=object, e.g. cn=PhoneBook.
• Hierarchical levels are separated by commas.
• It must be unique in the directory information tree.
The following objects are often used as hierarchical levels:
cn: common name
ou: organisational unit
o: organisation
c: country
dc: domain component
But other objects can also be used. For this parameter you require information on the structure of the LDAP server.
For the meaning of the objects, see section Filters ( p. 101).
