Description

This module uses an anonymous-bind LDAP connection to dump data from
the vmdir service in VMware vCenter Server version 6.7 prior to the
6.7U3f update, only if upgraded from a previous release line, such as
6.0 or 6.5.
If the bind username and password are provided (BIND_DN and LDAPPassword
options), these credentials will be used instead of attempting an
anonymous bind.
