LDAP doesn't absolutely require a password for access

It would be nice if the AD and LDAP providers did not require a password - our LDAP/AD provider does not require one for verifying user information and retrieving user attributes.

I think you should keep the proxy user setup you already have, but add a toggle between anonymous bind vs. search-and-bind. Search and bind is more general, and allows you to handle the case where not all users live directly w/in the base DN. Config something like: URI: ldaps://myserver.com Base DN: ou=some,ou=place,dc=mydomain,dc=com Username attribute: e.g. cn, uid Anonymous bind: yes/no (no implies search-and-bind) if no, then also: Proxy user: cn=proxy,dc=mydomain,dc=com Proxy password: topsecret Search scope: one/sub/children Search filter: e.g. &(objectClass=posixUser)(memberUid=agroup)) Retrieving attributes after authentication could be done by either the proxy user (if used), or the logged in user. Maybe that should also be a toggle. If not, I'd default to the logged in user.
