93 Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
96 Use the Distinguished Name \fIbinddn\fP to bind to the LDAP directory.
97 For SASL Binds, the server is expected to ignore this value.
100 Set the LDAP debugging level to \fIdebuglevel\fP.
102 must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
105 Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s); only the protocol/host/port
