Hmm, so what Apache does is first of all bind to the directory server, then do a
search using the query string which returns the 'cn' (common name).  Finally it
constructs a distinguished name using this value of 'cn' and the password
supplied by the user.

Is that so?  Is there a way I can test that the Active Directory server allows
you to bind giving a DN and password?  I had really expected that Apache would
just pass through the username entered by the user.  That seems much simpler.
