When configured with an external LDAP authentication & authorization, mongod typically performs three LDAP queries using the separate TCP connections:
- userToDNMapping processing
- to check the provided password
- groups retrieval
The proposed solution is to maintain the connection pool to the external LDAP server and reuse those connections to authenticate the MongoDB clients.
The authentication state of a connection needs to be set back to unauthenticated (using an anonymous bind) before the connection will be returned back to the pool.
