      When enabling LDAP in the typical setting, mongod process is using the three separate TCP connections to the LDAP server(s) for every db.auth() command:
      1. One (or more) connections for the sections in the security.ldap.userToDNMapping option with the ldapQuery predicates
      2. A single connection to authenticate the user by using the bind operation
      3. A single connection to obtain the list of groups for authorization.

      I am wondering if we could create a single TCP connection during the step 1 or 2 and reuse it for the next steps without reestablishing connection every time for the particular thread (==session) in the server?
