There's an AD-specific capability known as "fast bind" [1], which is
distinct from the historical usage of the term in CAS documentation.
We'll be changing language as of 4.0 documentation, but we have
historically called a bind operation that can be performed without a
search prior as a "fast bind." Avoiding a search that requires manager
credentials, as is the case with Active Directory, is always
preferable from a security perspective since it avoids the need to
provide credentials in CAS configuration files.
