With RTC configured for authentication against Active Directory, I have a doubt concerning base user DN and base group DN.
I noticed that, if I empty the Base user DN field (I did that becausethe base DN was to restrictive and only a few users had been imported), RTC is no longer able to resolve the groups membership of any user, so that users have no assigned roles.
In addition, the RTC admin console says that the Find groups for user query is performed in the context of the Base group DN.
What exactly does that mean?

The base user dn - is the lowest level you can find where all your users are in the subtree eg if you have:
usera in ou=persons ou=users dc=company dc=com and
userb in ou=users, dc=company, dc=com
then your base dn is ou=users, dc=company, dc=com
