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 ZyWALL/USG 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/USG will try to log in as an anonymous user. If the bind password is
incorrect, the login will fail.
