2- authenticate simple mode LDAP username/password credentials
LDAPAPI:
uid = username, userpassword = password
? user password stored in UNIX crypt format ?
Bind ?
Search user uid, userpassword?
It is very uncommon to search entries with a specific uid and password,
because the password will in almost all cases not be readable.
Normally, you search an entry with a uid, and bind with the returned DN
and the given password.
Note that a bind in JNDI is not a bind in LDAP. The bind in JNDI is an
add in LDAP (just to reduce confusion).
