information leakage is too big if you allow anonymous binding.

You do not need to hard code the credentials in your script or application
you can provide them using different means (read them from cli arguments,
from environment variables, from a password vault, interactively, from a
keytab, ..., each of those has pros and cons, but hard coding them makes
the script less portable between environments.
