+=head2 What is the proper format of the bind DN.
+
+The DN used to bind to a LDAP or X.550 directory is a FULLY QUALIFIED DN.
+The exact syntax of the DN will vary between LDAP or X.500 implementations.
+
+The following are valid examples.
+
+uid=clif,ou=People,dc=umich,dc=edu
+
+cn=directory manager,ou=admins,dc=umich,dc=edu
+
+In many LDAP and X.500 directory implementations the following
+would be a valid fully qualified DN of the directory manager.

+cn=directory manager
=head2 How can I tell when the server returns an error, bind() always returns
true ?
