Clarify documentation of "attribute_name" #45

@exhuma

Description

@exhuma

It was not immediately clear to me that attribute_name is subsequently used to bind with that attribute.

The process (from going through a debugger) is as follows:

  • Use the bind-user to execute a search
  • Extract the attribute_name from the matching results
  • Attempt to bind using whatever results from that as DN, and using the password supplied by the user

The attribute I specified in the config did not return the DN of the user, but rather a "human-readable" name making the second bind-attempt failing. By simply specifying that attribute_name should contain the name of the attribute which contains the user's DN would have helped a lot.
