Dn	Distinguished name, a unique name which is used to find user in LDAP server e.g. Microsoft Active Directory.
Ou	Organization Unit.
Bind	LDAP Bind is an operation in which LDAP clients sends bindRequest to LDAP user including username and password and if LDAP server is able to find user and password correct, it allows access to LDAP server.
Search	LDAP search is the operation which is performed to retrieve Dn of user by using some user credentials.
Root	LDAP directory’s top element, like root of a tree.
BaseDn	a branch in LDAP tree which can be used as base for LDAP search operation.
