Ok, but if the access control rules of the server don't allow any 
anonymous bind, or don't give search access on uid attribute, or read 
access on users' entries, I can't use this method, because I think some 
LDAP administrators won't let me set such access rules on their openldap 
server for my application to work on their network.
