Hi

This is checking to see if the LDAP server will fall back to anoymous bind in a number of circumstances. If this is the case then the LDAP server will not be used. It is difficult to detect this and revert back to giving only guest access to the app. Unless you know how to get the real uid of the bound user as opposed to the one provided in the bind request … 🙂
