Configuration overloading
The configuration options declared in adLDAP itself are protected variables. That means they cannot be set from directly outside the class. You have always been able to set them at run time by passing an array to the adLDAP constructor.
However adLDAP allows overloading of certain objects. This allows you to set and retrieve some of the protected settings and are not visible to your code from outside the class.
This can include wanting to disconnect, change the authentication details and re-connect without having to reinstantiate the adLDAP class.
See the configuration settings for information about what these settings mean.
