     *    required to enter full email address
     * - `host` - The domain controller hostname. This can be a closure or a string.
     *    The closure allows you to modify the rules in the configuration without the
     *    need to modify the LDAP plugin. One host (string) should be returned when
     *    using closure.
     * - `baseDN` - The base DN for directory - Closure must be used here, the plugin
     *    is expecting a closure object to be set.
     * - `bindDN` - The bind DN for directory - Closure must be used here, the plugin
     *    is expecting a closure object to be set.
     * - `search` - The attribute to search against. Usually 'UserPrincipalName'
     * - `port` - The port to use. Default is 389 and is not required.
     * - `errors` - Array of errors where key is the error and the value is the error
     *    message. Set in session to Flash.ldap for flashing
     * - `logErrors` - Should the errors be logged
     * - `options` - Array of options to set using ldap_set_option
     *
