!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is the [Authentication Method] for [LDAP]

[{$pagename}] is "officially" defined in the [IANA Registry] [Bind Authentication Method|https://www.iana.org/assignments/ldap-parameters/ldap-parameters.xhtml#ldap-parameters-7|target='_blank']

We find it a bit ironic as they show [simple|Simple Authentication] as "LIMITED USE" when in the real world it is by far the most used [{$pagename}] excepting perhaps [Windows Client]'s which may use [SASL Mechanism] of [SPNEGO].
