Nowadays most of the applications that claim to have "ldap support" for 
authentication work with non-rdn values by searching for the 
corresponding DN first and bind with this later.
Every other application which only uses auth with the rdn (by combining 
the rd with the given base to an DN) is very poorly designed and should 
be avoided. (IMHO)
