 You just specify the entire DN of the point on the tree where you want to
start searching.  If you want everyone within "peoplek2" then you specify
your Base DN as "OU=peoplek2,dc=example,dc=com" or whatever the DN of *that
node* is.  Citadel will authenticate users by searching on that node and all
of its child nodes, but *not* its parent, siblings, etc. 
  
 I'm not sure I can make it any clearer than this.
