                            java.lang.String password)
                     throws javax.naming.NamingException

Authenticates the given user via an external LDAP server. It throws an NamingException if the LDAP server can't be reached or the LDAP URL or Base DN is wrong. It allows multiple base DNs and tries to authenticate against each of them one after another. If an admin user is specified it tries to search for the user and then authenticates- if not it tries to authenticate right away. The username is used as the uid in LDAP. https://stackoverflow.com/a/24752175/1278769
