ldap_bind
boolean ldap_bind (resource link_identifier, string bind_dn = '', string bind_password = '')
The ldap_bind function establishes the security context of a connection
previously established with ldap_connect.
ldap_bind returns TRUE if the authentication succeeds and FALSE if it
fails, use the ldap_error function to acquire more detailed information
concerning the nature of a failure.
If bind_password is NULL, even if a valid bind_dn is passed, the connection
will attempt to authenticate as anonymous. If you want to be certain you
authenticated, or failed to authenticate, as the bind_dn specified make sure
the value of bind_password is not NULL before calling ldap_bind.
