Problem:

Add CF Administrator setting for CFLDAP connection information.

In the CF Admin, give us the ability to specify a connection name, username and password.  Similar to a datasource name, this connection name would then be used in a CFLDAP tag.

This would prevent another occurrence of having to specify user credentials within a CF page.

For example, in CF Admin, we could have the following fields:

Connection Name: LDAPConn
Connection User: username@domain.com (or domain\user or cn=user)
Connection Password: []

In CFLDAP we would need a new attribute CONNECTION:

<cfldap connection="LDAPConn" name="results" attributes="mail" ...>

It would be even better if we could specify multiple connections.

Also, this should be extended into Application.cfc for application-specific settings similar to CF Mappings.

Comments:

using a datasource/webserive/gateway kind of listing and adding interface, multiple intems would be perfect as we use diffferent connection strings for different access to different systems. I've seen a few instances where one readonly account and one write account (elevated access) are used and so multiple items would be very useful.
