If set, it will be used to override the hostname portion of LDAPAUTH_HOST.
+  * define( 'LDAPAUTH_HOST', 'ldap://'); // LDAP protocol without hostname. You can use 'ldaps://' for LDAP with TLS.

 NOTE: This will require config.php to be writable by your webserver user. This function is now largely unneeded because the database based cache offers similar benefits without the need to make config.php writeable. It is retained for backwards compatability
