User DN
.
This is the LDAP identifier of the account in your domain
which the Content Server will use to identify the user who is trying
to log in. This account must have read membership privileges, that
is, privileges to retrieve users’ ‘memberOf’ attributes from Active
Directory using LDAP. You can use an existing account or create a
new special account with those privileges. This account does not
need to be inside the search tree specified in Base DN.
The User DN (Distinguished name) is a unique name for this account.
It consists of:
CN (Common Name) of the special account
OU (Organizational Unit)
DC (Domain Object Class)
User DN examples:
CN=user_account,OU=employees,DC=company,
DC=com CN=user_account,OU=marketing,DC=company,DC=com
Please note that DNs can have many more than four parts.

Base DN
.
This is the search base which
the Content Server uses to search for user
records. The Content Server will search the
object specified by the Base DN and any
objects beneath it.
The Base DN (Distinguished name) is a unique
name for this container. It consists of OU, CN,
and DN components.
Base DN examples:
OU=employees,DC=com
pany,DC=com OU=marketing,OU=employees,
DC=company,DC=com
In the examples above, OU ‘marketing’ is
contained within the OU ‘employees’, so
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com
will identify all employees of the company
including the Marketing department, and
OU=marketing,OU=employees,DC=company,
DC=com will identify users from the Marketing
department only.
