Bind and search Root

When the Use Device User's Credentials method is selected, the Bind and Search
Root value is used during both phases of authentication. During the credential
verification phase, this value is combined with the RDN to construct the full
Distinguished Name (DN) of the user. During the user information searching phase,
this value is the DN of the LDAP entry where the search begins.

When the Use LDAP Administrator's Credentials method is selected, the Bind and
Search Root is only used as a search root. The Search Root of the base of the LDAP
directory can be specified, and the device will search the entire LDAP tree for the user
object corresponding to the username entered at the device.
