title: How to authenticate LDAP account?
body: <p>Couple of the Perl applications at my workplace require LDAP authentication. When those applications required the user to login, the application would anonymously connect to the LDAP server then searched for the user in the LDAP database. But now, we are no longer allowed to connect to the LDAP server anonymously, we are given a username and password to connect to it. </p>
