Management, Coding, and Life.
LDAP is mysterious and opaque to me. Deep dark magic, etc.
I've tried a few times over the years to poke around -- notably making that Dancer example to authenticte via ldap. But I've never had, you know, authz and approval to futz with an LDAP. Even figuring out the appropriate search and base thingamijig is unclear. This is not an inviting protocol.
