Hi Saul, thanks for writing this. Embarrassingly I wasn't even aware of the UnboundID LDAP SDK, so it's great to find two useful things I can use right away!
I would like to implement a LDAP authentication in Clojure, based around clj-ldap. Do you think it is necessary for the bind-request function to be private? In LDAP v3 bind requests can be sent at any time during a connection, so I can run a small connection pool for authentication without the overhead of creating a new connection every time someone authenticates. My plan is to take the UID and password, search the directory for the matching DN, and then bind with that DN given the provided password. Any enormous flaws in this approach? More specifically, would you consider a public bind-request function in an upcoming release?
