This is related to Bug 7379 where Elliott Davis describes a new authentication
method as follows:

For some ldap setups there is a different sequence for authentication that koha
doesn't account for.  The steps are:

1) Bind with a service account
2) Search for user entered
3) Bind as user if found

The final patch that went in allowed for a method as follows:

1) Bind with an Anonymous user
2) Search for user entered
3) Bind as user if found.

This is close to what Elliott described but not exact.  My patch enclosed adds
the original method into the accepted and pushed patch such that the initial
bind can take place upon a specified service user OR and an anonymous user.
