Requiring distinguished logon names for LDAP name-and-password security
To conform to RFCs 2251 through 2254, you can use the LDAP service option "DN Required on Bind?" to require that an LDAP client that binds using name-and-password security to any LDAP service running in the domain use their fully qualified LDAP distinguished name as their LDAP client logon name. In a Person document in the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Directory, the distinguished name is the first value in the FullName field, labeled User Name. By default, the LDAP service doesn't require an LDAP client to use the distinguished name as a logon name.

If you don't require distinguished names as logon names for name-and-password security, the "Internet authentication" field on the Security tab of a Server document for a server that runs the LDAP service controls which client logon names are allowed for name-and-password security.

To enable or disable the requirement that LDAP users use their distinguished names as log on names when using name-and-password security when binding to the LDAP service:

1. From the Domino Administrator, open a server that runs the LDAP service, or a server in the same domain as a server that runs the LDAP service.

2. Click the Configuration tab.

3. In the left pane, expand Directory, then LDAP, and then select Settings.

4. Do one of the following:

5. Next to "DN Required on Bind?" choose one: 6. Click Save & Close.
