Slow login with SecureLogin in LDAP mode

After user boots up machine and logs into windows a long delay (roughly 1 minute) is experienced before the windows desktop is painted and the NSL splash logo is displayed.  NSL then indicates that it is loading then completes login promptly.

To cut down on the time the LDAPAuth client piece in NSL searches the tree for the provided username, employ LDAPAuth search constraints.
Please see KB 10093336 "Registry Settings in LDAPAuth"
