Active Directory doesn't do a simple bind, AFAIK AD is using a sort of
SASL library, which is unsupported in gq, that's why gq does only a
anonymous search.
Furthermore AD uses additional ABSTRACT object classes, which are not
part of X.500 protocol.
It's all documented in the Microsoft White Paper 'Understanding LDAP'.

But what strucks me is 'Version: 2 and Auth Type: Simple'. To my
knowledge, AD supports LDAP v3 and SASL, so what sort of LDAP server
are you referring to?
