BIND

The BIND command is responsible for establishing a connection to the LDAP server.

A simple bind sends the user's DN and password. An anonymous bind may be established by not sending a password.

It is possible to establish a secure connection, using SSL, and this BIND command provides for this option.

Keywords

HOST	The host address of the LDAP server you connecting to. This keyword is mandatory.
PORT	The port to connect to on the host. By default, this value will be 389 for a simple connection, or 636 for a secured connection. This keyword is optional.
SECURE	Used to specify whether you want to establish a secure connection to the server. The default value is *NO (for an unsecured connection). This keyword is optional.
DN	The authentication name. The DN may be used without a password, establishing an anonymous connection. It is also possible not to pass this value at all, also establishing an anonymous connection. This keyword is optional.
PASSWORD	This keyword must be passed, along with the DN keyword, if authentication is required. A DN value may be sent without a PASSWORD value, but a PASSWORD value may not be sent without a DN value.
