See clients/tools/ldapsearch.c for an example of how to
make use of LDAP SASL bind, in particular the
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s() call.

If you use ldap_sasl_bind_s() you must be prepared to
the SASL exchange in your application.  That is, ldap_sasl_bind_s()
only provides the LDAP wrapper which you can use to implement
any mechanism you wish.... but you have to implement the
mechanism.
