Translations:Centralized authentication using OpenLDAP/26/en

OpenLDAP has a main user called "rootdn" (Root Distinguished Name), which is hard coded in the application. Unlike the classic Unix root user, the rootdn user still needs to be assigned with proper permissions. The rootdn user may be used only in the context of the configuration, but it can also be used in the directory definition. In that case a user can authenticate himself as rootdn with either the configuration used password and the tree (directory-based) password.
