Ryan,

That makes sense. And yes, if I could deal with credentials like LDAP
does, that would be incredibly convenient, but I cannot.

In theory, I can parse the ELF structure of the LDAP library at runtime,
check if there is the dependency issue, and then load the ldap library
dynamically if everything is fine, but that would be a pain to implement
and we would essentially just be disabling this feature on Ubuntu which
would be sad. I know RHEL and SLES have an OpenLDAP version which has a
dependency on MIT Kerberos. Ideally for me, there would be libldap2-mit
and libldap2-mit-dev packages I could apt-get, and all my problems would
go away without breaking anyone. That being said, I know that is kind of
a big ask.
