The system:
- Attempts to bind to the LDAP repository with credentials enabling execution of necessary queries.
- Searches for the user in the LDAP directory with the proper userid.
- Retrieves the user's distinguished name (DN) from the LDAP directory.
- Attempts to bind to the LDAP repository using the user's DN and password.
- Success – The system binds to the LDAP repository as a user.
- Failure – The system cannot bind to the LDAP repository as a user.
