Connection and authentication knowledge

[Emmanuel Lecharny]

Hi,

should we add some method in LdapConnection to inform the user about the 
authentication ?

ie, isAnonymous(), isSimpleAuth(), isSaslAuth(), or even better 
getAuthenticatedUser() returning the principal ?

// Anonymous connection
connection.bind();

if ( connection.isAnonymous() ) {
  System.out.println( "anonymous" );
}

// Authenticated connection
connection.bind( "uid=admin,ou=system", "secret" );

if ( connection.isAnonymous() ) {
  System.out.println( "anonymous" );
} else if ( connection.isSimpleAuth() ) {
  System.out.println( "SimpleAuth for : " + 
connection.getAuthenticatedUser() );
}

wdyt ?
