title: How to check a username/password combination?
body: <p>Using LDAP is checking a username/password as simple as attempting to bind as that user and noting the results, or is there a special LDAP "check password" function?</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to get a bit more "behind the scenes" understanding while working on a messy LDAP repository setup issue.</p>
  
  <p>(Note: This is for situations in which the password is not stored as a hash in a custom property; that situation is easy to manage)</p>
