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.
Bind DN
A bind DN is used to authenticate with an LDAP/AD server. For example a bind DN of cn=zyAdmin allows
the NXC to log into the LDAP/AD server using the user name of zyAdmin. The bind DN is used in
conjunction with a bind password. When a bind DN is not specified, the NXC will try to log in as an
anonymous user. If the bind password is incorrect, the login will fail.
25.2 Active Directory / LDAP
Use the Active Directory or LDAP screen to manage the list of AD or LDAP servers the NXC can use in
authenticating users.
Note: Both the Active Directory and LDAP screens, while on separate tabs, are identical in
configuration. This section applies to both equally.
Click Configuration > Object > AAA Server > Active Directory/LDAP to display the Active Directory / LDAP
screen.
Figure 180 Configuration > Object > AAA Server > Active Directory/LDAP
