In my environment, I am authenticating users against an LDAP server. The CLI
does not currently allow users to authenticate, though, so provide an example

Note, an additional change to the cli is necessary to allow a username
to be specified, sent separately. Perhaps update the commit message if
they are both merged to indicate the reference.
