LDAP server which is my base dn - Stack Overflow A base dn is the point from where a server will search for users So I would try to simply use admin as a login name If openca behaves like most ldap aware applications, this is what is going to happen : An ldap search for the user admin will be done by the server starting at the base dn (dc=example,dc=com)
What are CN, OU, DC in an LDAP search? - Stack Overflow It is a DN (Distinguished Name) (a series of comma-separated key value pairs used to identify entries uniquely in the directory hierarchy) The DN is actually the entry's fully qualified name Here you can see an example where I added some more possible entries The actual path is represented using green
ldap - Using DN in Search Filter - Stack Overflow extensible condition - (attrName:dn:=value) (attrName:matchingRule:=value) The extensible condition with the :dn: keyword means, that you want attributes from the entry DN to be considered as well So for your case entry cn=John Doe,ou=HumanResources,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com would match the filter (ou:dn:=HumanResource)
ldap - Finding CN of users in Active Directory - Stack Overflow Most common AD default design is to have a container, cn=users just after the root of the domain Thus a DN might be: cn=admin,cn=users,DC=domain,DC=company,DC=com Also, you might have sufficient rights in an LDAP bind to connect anonymously, and query for (cn=admin) If so, you should get the full DN back in that query

ldap - Base DN vs Root DN? - Stack Overflow Root dn is the dn with empty string ("") and root entry generally includes information about ldap server like supported controls, supported auth mechanisms etc "dc=example,dc=com" is an example of the domain name one level below the root dn Base dn concept is used for generally search operations and base dn implies the dn of the basis entry
LDAP Syntax Semantics: Filter vs. Base DN? - Stack Overflow If you wish a filter to find a DN, then you pick an identifying chracteristic like CN, and filter (CN=JohnTestGroup) or perhaps ([email protected]) The base tells the LDAP server where to start looking, as seriyPS notes in his her answer, the SCOPE is the next question
How to retrieve DirectoryEntry from a DirectoryEntry and a DN Just to clarify, the DirectoryEntry and DN are the only pieces of information I have I cannot instantiate a new DirectoryEntry because then I would have have to either use the default Directory and credentials or have the Directory name port and username password
Invalid DN syntax on LDAP Authentication - Stack Overflow Your DN for binding to the LDAP-Server is (cn=[username]),ou=students,o=bhs which is not a valid DN-Syntax That should read cn=[username],ou=students,o=bhs without the braces You have mixed up an LDAP-Filter (the stuff inside the braces) with a DN I'd do an LDAP authentication in the following way:
