Those were not OpenLDAP's ldap.conf. BINDPW isn't mentioned in

My question:
It has been clearly stated, that BINDPW cannot be used in ldaprc (at least in
the case of openldap).
But it is definitely stated in the manpage of ldap.conf, that BINDDN is a legal
user-only option of openldap. My ldaprc says:
BASE ou=madas,dc=something
BINDDN cn=admin,dc=something
TLS_REQCERT allow
URI ldaps://ip1.ip2.ip3.ip4
BASE and URI has its effect, BINDDN has not. Did I make a mistake?
Thank you in advance.
