Remove usage of Distinguished ID and password in LDAP setup of TS7700 or have TS7700 read password of DN from API

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

During LDAP setup on TS7700, we currently use a Bind ID (Distinguished name) with a 180-day changing password in the "Server Authentication" panel for authentication with LDAP server and we maintain the password manually. Every 180 days we reset password for this ID and update our LDAP policy on all the VTS Management Interface.

We are currently directed to move away from maintaining these passwords manually.

We want to remove the need to use an Distinguished name and password in "Server Authentication" panel. If not, we want a solution where TS7700 can read password for this Bind ID from an API or enable us to use any app-to-app solutions like EPV-AIM or Sophia.
