Parameter Description
search The search method initially binds to the LDAP server, then
searches for the user, then binds to the user using the DN found
with the search. The initial bind is either anonymous, or using the
user specified with the bind authenticate root-dn command.
bind-only The bind-only method attempts to bind to the LDAP server using
a predicted DN based on the username, the user attribute (set
with the login-attribute command) and the base DN (set with the
base-dn command). The format of this user DN is as follows:
'<username>=<login-attribute>,<base-dn>'.
