Still not making sense to me here.

Any user in AD can bind to a DC with valid creds. No extra permissions needed.

This dedicated bind account though, what does it do?

Thanks,

Hey,
Thanks for the reply. I should have been more specific, there is a dedicated 
bind account. It's the users that bind account is checking, they are in AD 
merely for the sake of unifying all the places I have accounts but have no use 
in AD or rights. This Linux based app will look here for them and verify the 
password. I could have it point to flat files but then I have two places to 
manage accounts.

I just wondered how many perms I could remove from the user and still make it 
work...

Thanks!

A bind is always performed in the context of the user making the request. That 
means you need to provide no extra permissions for this to occur. If the 
credentials supplied are valid, the bind will succeed.

For straight read, chances are your service account needs no extra permissions, 
but, you'd have to describe what you're actually doing to say for sure.

I want to move some users from another directory that are only for for and 
external app that does ldap auth against a non-windows setup.
The thought was (long term) to delegate control of an OU to a manager.

Aside from a lengthy gpo, anyone know a source which outlines what permissions 
must at least remain for this account to perform that type function, the app 
will simply perform a bind from a service account and check the pass.

Thanks!
