LDAP Authenticated Bind

Question

I have been looking for documentation on LDAP authenticated bind, except there is very little and the stuff that is there doesn't go into any detail. I was able to get authenticated binds to work properly but I wanted to ensure that it was all done correctly.
I found that the users that you are authenticating have to be in the same OU as the service account that you are using to perform the authenticated bind. For example you have an OU called Wireless. users1, user2 and a service account called WiSA are all in this OU. You can authenticate users1 and user2, but no users out of any other OU.
Is this really all there is? There appears to be no ability to do memberOf which really limits what you can do with this.
I am running 6.0.182.0. Any thoughts??

Answer 1

You can use users in another location for authenticated binding of LDAP, in that case while writing the the username you should mention entire path instead of username.
for eg: you should specify the username as cn=user,ou=cisco,ou=wireless,dc=com.
If both your client authentication username and bind username in same location then you can just specify the username controller will pick the path from the LDAP config.
I hope i answerd your question.
