Remarks

Binding is the step where the LDAP server authenticates the client and, if the client is successfully authenticated, allows the client access to the LDAP server based on that client's privileges. If a connection was created using ldap_connect, and if no binding function is called, on a LDAP v3 server, you run as anonymous.
