Hm, a potential attacker gets useful information that the DN doesn't
exist. Maybe it is better to return the same error message as if the
password is wrong?

49 - INVALID_CREDENTIALS: Bind failed: Cannot authenticate user
uid=admin,ou=system

On the other hand, for debugging is is better to get the real cause...
