Comment 1 Ashfaqur Rahaman 2016-03-18 01:44:33 UTC

Procedure 20.1. To Configure LDAP Authentication 

--> Base DN: the top level domain name of your LDAP directory. For example:
~~
cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=redhat,dc=com
~~

It should be 
~~
dc=redhat,dc=com
~~

Comment 2 Stephen Wadeley 2016-05-03 14:48:29 UTC

Hello

comment 1 refers to Step 4 in

Procedure 20.1. To Configure LDAP Authentication

which has "cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=redhat,dc=com"


https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/6.1/html/User_Guide/chap-Red_Hat_Satellite-User_Guide-Configuring_External_Authentication.html#proc-Red_Hat_Satellite-User_Guide-Using_LDAP-To_Configure_LDAP_Authentication


In this table:

Table 20.1. Example Settings for Active Directory LDAP Connection

there is also "Base DN 	CN=Users,DC=example,DC=COM "

and in this table:

Table 20.2. Example settings for FreeIPA LDAP Connection

there is "Base DN 	cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com "

= = =

I suppose that in each case "Base DN" field should only contain "DC=example,DC=COM", no "cn=".
