I have many untrusted hosts with ldap-based authentication.
With this reason no difference between anonymous bind and bind under
potentialy compromized id. But second case I have to specialy
describe in ACL section slapd.conf.
Also, I can't see difference for user authentication between initial
anonymous and non-anonymous bind.
