+## Binding
+
+When it comes to LDAP there are several considerations for deciding how to bind to the LDAP server.
+
+### Unauthenticated Binding
+
+The most insecure method is unauthenticated binds. They are generally considered insecure due to the fact allowing them
+at all ensures anyone with any level of network access can easily obtain objects and their attributes.
+
+Authelia does support unauthenticated binds but it is not by default, you must configure the
+[permit_unauthenticated_bind](../../configuration/first-factor/ldap.md#permit_unauthenticated_bind) configuration
+option.
+
+### End-User Binding
+
+One method to bind to the server that is favored by a lot of people is binding to the LDAP server as the end user. While
+this is more secure than methods such as [Unauthenticated Binding](#unauthenticated-binding) the drawback is that it can
+only be used securely at the time the user enters their credentials. Storing a password in memory in general is not very
+secure and prone to breakage due to outside influences (i.e. the user changes their password).
+
+In addition, this method is not compatible with the password reset / forgot password flow at all (not to be confused
+with a change password flow).
+
+Authelia doesn't currently support such a binding method excluding for checking user passwords.
+
+### Service-User Binding
+
+This is the most common method of binding to LDAP. This involves setting up a special service user with a complex
+password which has the minimum permissions required to do the tasks required.
+
+Authelia primarily supports this method.
+
+## Implementation Guide
+
+There are currently two implementations, `custom` and `activedirectory`. The `activedirectory` implementation
+must be used if you wish to allow users to change or reset their password as Active Directory
+uses a custom attribute for this, and an input format other implementations do not use. The long term
+intention of this is to have logical defaults for various RFC implementations of LDAP.
+
+### Filter replacements
+
+Various replacements occur in the user and groups filter. The replacements either occur at startup or upon an LDAP
+search.

+|     {mail_attribute}     | startup |     The configured mail attribute     |
+| {display_name_attribute} | startup | The configured display name attribute |
+|         {input}          | search  |   The input into the username field   |
+
+#### Groups filter replacements
+
+| Placeholder | Phase  |                                Replacement                                |

+|    {dn}     | search |              The distinguished name from the profile lookup               |
