 ### Example: Server behavior with anonymous binds disabled
 
-Assume anonymous binds are disabled and our sample partition _Seven Seaes_ present in the server. Here is an example with a search operation performed by a command line tool as a client. It tries to connect anonymously (no DN and password given, i.e. options -D and -w missing) to the server. Afterwards the entry _ou=people,o=sevenSeas_ should be displayed.

 The examples above have used a command line tool. Of course graphical tools and programmatical access (JNDI etc.) allow anonymous binds as well. Below is a screen shot from the configuration dialog of [Apache Directory Studio](http://directory.apache.org/studio/) as an example. During configuration of the connection data ("New LDAP Connection", for instance), the option _Anonymous Authentication_ leads to anonymous binds. Other UI tools offer this feature as well.

 If you want to use simple binds with user DN and password within a Java component, in order to authenticate users programatically, in practice one problem arises: Most users do not know their DN. Therefore they will not be able to enter it. And even if they know it, it would be frequently very laborious due to the length of the DN. It would be easier for a user if s/he only has to probvide a short, unique _ID_ and the password, like in this web form
