Documentation bug for LDAP authentication
While playing with LDAP authentication, I discovered
two documentation bugs.
First, user and password for the first step in the
two-step authentication mode are "ldapbinddn" and
"ldapbindpasswd", not "ldapbinduser" and "ldapbinddn".
This bug has been there since 8.4.
The second one is new in 9.3 with the URL syntax:
It is not possible to specify "user" and "password"
in the LDAP URL.
The first hunk should be backpatched.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

I've committed this part. (It only goes back to 9.0.)

That sounds like a bug to me. I'll investigate.

Hmm, it seems it is not intended to be supported. So I have installed
your change.
