Usually the start will be your DNS domain name, but broken up a bit. For example, if your DNS domain name is "palla.com", then your start would be "dc=palla,dc=com".
>From there, make use of CFDUMP in all of your LDAP queries. If you specify a wildcard for the attributes (attributes="*") you will get quite a bit of stuff that you can dump to your browser. However, I seem to remember that you could not use a wildcard when your start was the root of your domain. In other words: [cfldap ... start = "dc=palla,dc=com" attributes="*" ... /] Would either throw an error or would just not return any records. But, if you add an Organizational Unit (OU) to the start attribute, it will work: [cfldap ... start = "ou=users,dc=palla,dc=com" attributes="*" ... /] If you must start at the root of your domain, which you probably should, then you just cannot use a wildcard. (Unless this has been fixed in a recent updater.) Is there any particular task you are trying to accomplish? We may be able to get you started in the right direction if you provide us with the requirements.

How do i query this using cfldap to get list of all users to start with. I know I have to give a "start" DN but how do I know the DN ? Where can i get the DN from? I have access to the LDAP machine.
