  On Windows, curl will use WinLDAP from Platform SDK by default.

  Default protocol version used by curl is LDAPv3. LDAPv2 will be used as
  fallback mechanism in case if LDAPv3 will fail to connect.

  You also can use authentication when accessing LDAP catalog:

      curl -u user:passwd "ldap://ldap.frontec.se/o=frontec??sub?mail=*"
      curl "ldap://user:passwd@ldap.frontec.se/o=frontec??sub?mail=*"

  By default, if user and password provided, OpenLDAP/WinLDAP will use basic
  authentication. On Windows you can control this behavior by providing 
  one of --basic, --ntlm or --digest option in curl command line

      curl --ntlm "ldap://user:passwd@ldap.frontec.se/o=frontec??sub?mail=*"

  On Windows, if no user/password specified, auto-negotiation mechanism will
  be used with current logon credentials (SSPI/SPNEGO).
