This clause configures the client side of the connection, so the
credentials must be a clear text password.
The other server will have an entry for cn=admin,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
in its database, and the password in that entry should be hashed.
Obviously you must protect the config file carefully using OS-level
file permissions.
