host => 'od.company.com',
basedn => 'cn=users,dc=company,dc=com',
filter => '(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%s))'
);
Microsoft Active Directory
my $ldap = Authen::Simple::LDAP->new(
host => 'ad.company.com',
binddn => 'proxyuser@company.com',
bindpw => 'secret',
basedn => 'cn=users,dc=company,dc=com',
filter => '(&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=%s))'

Active Directory by default does not allow anonymous binds. It's recommended that a proxy user is used that has sufficient rights to search
the desired tree and attributes.
