this question is related to
as i want to help the vendor with their LDAP authentication so i installed an LDAP browser and tried to make a connection from it. from what i can tell, i am unable to browse my AD tree UNLESS theinitial credentials that i use in this LDAP browser is a domain admin. that is fine with me but what about those vendors? i cannot provide them admin credentials in order to do an LDAP bind.
is this how you normally bind with an LDAP tool? use an admin credential? i was under the impression that any domain user can read the AD tree.
