Overview #

The search base DN is an element of the SearchRequest that works in conjunction with the LDAP Search Scope to define the subtree of entries that should be considered when processing the SearchRequest.

Only entries at or below the search base DN and within the scope will be considered candidates for matching against the LDAP SearchFilter.
