LDAP Authentication
In this section, enter the credentials used by the platform itself to communicate with your LDAP server.
Connection URL—Enter the URL of your LDAP server.
Select the bind type. The platform supports simple bind authentication, which is also known as password-based authentication. Click Bind to access the user privileges set on your LDAP server. A simple bind will bind with a client's full name. All clients must be located in the same branch specified with the DN (distinguished name).
You should only select None if your LDAP server supports an anonymous bind. This option requires no further input because it does not require bind credentials.
Enter the user distinguished name in Bind DN. It is up to you to define what it is, but from the platform perspective, it is similar to an absolute path in a file system. It could be a synthetic ID (just a collection of numbers), but usually it's a comma-separated list of relative DNs, each DN being a node in the LDAP directory tree. An example would look like this:
cn=admin,cn=users,dc=privitar,dc=com
Any fragment of the distinguished name, such as cn-admin or dc=privitar, is a relative distinguished name (RDN). If you use the file system analogy, each RDN represents one relative directory hop.
