LDAP Import fails if you use a CN other than Users..

Issue Description:

When we import users through LDAP, it seems like if we use the CN = Users as a Base DN its working fine.

If you use any other CN apart from that its showing error message like "FAILURE : Error occurred while trying to connect with LDAP Server - Please check your inputs."


Solution:
In Base DN instead of CN please use OU as given below.

OU=Test OU,DC=domainname,DC=com
