Allow LDAP authentication to operate in search+bind mode, meaning it 

does a search for the user in the directory first, and then binds with
the DN found for this user.

This allows for LDAP logins in scenarios where the DN of the user cannot
be determined simply by prefix and suffix, such as the case where different
users are located in different containers.

The old way of authentication can be significantly faster, so it's kept
as an option.

<para>
In the second mode, the server first binds to the LDAP directory with
a fixed username and password, specified with <replaceable>ldapbinduser</>
and <replaceable>ldapbinddn</>, and performs a search for the user trying
to log in to the database. If no user and password is configured, an
anonymous bind will be attempted to the directory. The search will be
performed over the subtree at <replaceable>ldapbasedn</>, and will try to
do an exact match of the attribute specified in
<replaceable>ldapsearchattribute</>. If no attribute is specified, the
<literal>uid</> attribute will be used. Once the user has been found in
this search, the server disconnects and re-binds to the directory as
this user, using the password specified by the client, to verify that the
login is correct. This method allows for significantly more flexibility
in where the user objects are located in the directory, but will cause
two separate connections to the LDAP server to be made.
