Just copying from ldap_sasl_interactive_bind. This is after all, a list of
mechs the client is willing to use. Basically in addition to authcID and cred
the SASL bind needs to know mech and optional authzID. Maybe a flag for
whether or not to interactively prompt for missing info. I'm tempted to drop
support for interactive prompting; that appears to be one of the key
stumbling blocks a lot of people have with using ldap_sasl_interactive_bind
in their own code.

How about ldap3_bind() ?
