and, in LDAP, they generally should not match...   if they do,
it's likely better not to send the authzid (to avoid sending
a malformed LDAP authzId).  The only (rare) case where this
would be bad is when !strcmp(authcid,authzid) but USER(authcid)
!= USER(authzid).  That is, authcid="u:foo", authzid="u:foo",
but the user represented by the authcid is not the same as
the user represented by the authzid.
