Writing a SHELL backend database

Bind

The input format for a BIND request is as follows:

   BIND
   msgid: integer[suffix: dn]+
   dn: binddn
   method: integer
   credlen: integer
   cred: credentials

The msgid parameter is a unique identifier for the operation. The method parameter will be one of the LDAP authentication methods listed in <ldap.h>. The only credential currently supported is a clear-text password (used with a simple bind).
