Can't resist to note that web2ldap has support for ldapi:// for quite a 
while (arbitrary LDAP URLs can e.g. be passed as query string).

web2ldap does not support SASL bind requests yet (although python-ldap 
supports it) since there was no demand of users for it and no personal 
requirement up to now. How many of you folks really need SASL binds?
I thought about how to implement SASL binds for quite a while. But up to now 
I didn't have an idea for a nice user interface for choosing the SASL mechs 
and passing the right credentials.

Ciao, Michael.
