I've been working with LDAP and AD for a while now, and, AFAIK, there
are only two ways to bind to a Directory Server:

 1. User's BindDN, and
 2. User Principle Name

I don't believe the proposed method is portable to AD. In addition,
the modifications to the binddn are in the 'sec' variable which is an
authn_ldap_config_t structure created for the module and not for the
_request_.
