I think we both misunderstood. :)

I have a 3rd party app running on AIX that we can setup to allow
authentication through LDAP. I want to do single sign on. So I need to
setup the connection between my AIX server and AD. What I was asking is how
people ususally do this when they have an application that needs to query AD
for authentication. I know I need to setup a user account to allow it to
access the LDAP database but I'm not sure what rights this user account
needs.
