With either a Windows Active Directory server or a Samba4 Active Directory server very little information is exposed for anonymous searches via LDAP. This means every search has to bind. Simple binds are insecure and in many cases not supported - for good reason, they are hopelessly insecure. But often times one doesn't want to bother with Kerberos (even as great as Kerberos is) due to ticket expiration, keytab paths, etc...
