Reporter has an LDAP server that allows anonymous searches but does not allow
anonymous compares [rather it's configured that way].  So he leaves off the
bind dn/password to retrieve the DN, but can't do certain types of authz
anonymously.

If I commit the patch, I will make the directive sound less general and put
some time into the doc.
