protocol: Simple Bind 'name' field
[Protocol] 4.2 (Bind Operation) says:
- name: The name of the Directory object that the client wishes to
bind as.
I don't think this is true for unauthenticated binds. (The paragraph
proceeds to list exceptions to the statement, but misses that one:)
This field may take on a null value (a zero length
string) for the purposes of anonymous binds ([AuthMeth] Section
5.1) or when using Simple Authentication and Security Layer [SASL]
authentication ([AuthMeth] Section 3.3.2).
Sorry to be late; I only realized it while reviewing Authmeth.
