This one setting would perform authentication for all of the users 
listed in the ou=People,o=example space of the LDAP server.
In other words, if someone tries to authenticate with a name
of "alice", it will search the ou=People,o=example tree for an
entity with "uid=alice", and attempt to authenticate (bind) to
the LDAP server using that entity and the supplied password.
