If your LDAP server doesn't support <a href="http://www.google.com/?q=LDAP+anonymous+bind">anonymous binding</a>
(IOW, if your LDAP server doesn't even allow a query without authentication),
then Hudson would have to first authenticate itself against the LDAP server,
and Hudson does that by sending "manager" DN and password.
<p>
A DN typically looks like <tt>CN=MyUser,CN=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=com</tt>
although the exact sequence of tokens depends on the LDAP server configuration.
It can be any valid DN as long as LDAP allows this user to query data.
<p>
This configuration is also useful when you are connecting to Active Directory
from a Unix machine, as AD doesn't allow anonymous bind by default. But
if you can't figure this out, you can also change AD setting to allow
anonymous bind. See <a href="http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/appnote/15120.html">this document</a> for how to.
