Replaced getIdentifyingName and ldapAuthenticate with new code. ldapAuthenticate will first try to form a secure connection. If the secure connection fails then based on the value specified in metacat.properties, an insecure connection will be made. authenticate() function first tries to connect using the dn specified with the default ldap base and url. in case that fails, then getIdentifyingName is called and authentication is tried for any referals found. Now, getIdentifyingName only considers the username provided as 'uid' and not as sn or cn. Any referals found are returned so that authentication can be tested against them
