When using

<replicate>0</replicate> <!-- add new users from LDAP to Koha database -->
<update>0</update> <!-- update existing users in Koha database ->
<auth_by_bind>1</auth_by_bind> <!-- set to 1 to authenticate by binding instead
of password comparison, e.g., to use Active Directory -->

Auth_with_ldap attempts to lookup the userid in the LDAP directory to fill
$userldapentry despite it being unneeded in this case.  The information
retrieved will be thrown away, thus there is no need to retrieve it.  This can
cause authentication to fail overall even if the initial bind with the user's
credentials succeeded.
