The documentation will improve soon.
Currently there is no plan to expand the configuration options offered
by the according YaST-module.
The authentication module is limited to the bare minimum that is
required in order to create a successful setup.
Users who want to do expert settings will need to edit the configuration
file itself.

Providing the "URI" and the "base dn" usually is enough to connect a
client to a LDAP-service. If there are issues, please provide your
configuration files.
