On initial binds to the LDAP server during user authentication, there are three options: Anonymous authentication: Bind attempt is made without a client DN or password. If the bind is successful, a search will be requested in order to find an entry on the LDAP server for the user attempting to login. If an entry is found, a second attempt to bind will be attempted, this time with the user's DN and password. If this succeeds, the user is deemed to have passed the user authentication phase. Group authentication is then attempted if it is enabled. Client authentication: Bind attempt is made with client DN and password specified by this configuration parameter. If the bind is successful, we proceed as above. User Principal Name (UPN): Bind attempt is made directly with the credentials used during the login process. If this succeeds, the user is deemed to have passed the user authentication phase. Note that for Active Directory servers, the userid can have the form someuser@somedomain or simply someuser.
