Note that this is by design: the reason is that:

1) we don't want to allow arbitrary URLs

2) we don't want to duplicate all functionalities of other modules (in a 
moment users would ask for: arbitrary authentication mechanisms, 
detailed handling of errors, timeouts, etc.); if you need to that, you 
can configure an instance of back-ldap that handles requests for the 
remote database.  Back-ldap, by design, already handles all these 
functionalities.
