re: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40649

Whenever a program attempts to make an AD connection in wine, e.g. for browsing
or pre-authentication purposes, wine fails and produces an error like this:

0009:fixme:adsldp:openobj_OpenDSObject
0094A984,L"LDAP://my_server/rootDSE",L"my_user_name",L"my_password",33,0032BAB8:
stub

This related bug affected a large number of programs. Both free ones like
sysinternals' ADExplorer (probably the best AD gui that would be usable on
linux) and Cisco's AD VPN client, as well as propriety programs like Honeywell
programs that work with Honeywell's Experion server (e.g. Honeywell's
HMIWebBuilder, their Control Builder, their ConfigurationStudio, their Operator
Station) (i.e. their entire product line) fail and are inoperable in wine.

This particular bug with adsldp, I have only tested on SysInternals ADExplorer
but it is replicable every time and prevent use of the program.
