Figure 600 Basic Directory Structure
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
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=zywallAdmin
allows the Zyxel Device 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 Zyxel Device will try
to log in as an anonymous user. If the bind password is incorrect, the login will fail.
43.10.5 Active Directory or LDAP Server Summary
Use the Active Directory or LDAP screen to manage the list of AD or LDAP servers the Zyxel Device can
use in authenticating users.
Click Configuration > Object > AAA Server > Active Directory (or LDAP) to display the Active Directory (or
LDAP) screen.
