Explanation

The string 'OU=Users, DC=Domain, DC=COM' is an LDAP Distinguished Name (DN) - the hierarchical addressing format used in LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directory structures. OU stands for Organizational Unit, DC stands for Domain Component. LDAP is a standard protocol for accessing and querying directory services (such as Active Directory), and is the backbone technology for many SSO implementations. TACACS+ and RADIUS are AAA protocols typically used for network device authentication. Kerberos is a ticket-based authentication protocol. Only LDAP uses DN syntax like the one shown.
