Does not work for me on the whimsy host:


ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)


Nor on my macOS system:

No such object (32)

(Yes, I did change the bind details)

If I enter an incorrect password on macOS, I get:

ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

This shows the server has been contacted at least.
However using a bad password on Whimsy makes no difference.

Any tooling relying on UN-authenticated bind will need to switch to using a
