[BUG, LDAP outpost] RootDSE search not functional

[samip5]

Describe the bug The LDAP server not handling RootDSE searches, it probably should.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Authentik
2. Create LDAP outpost & provider
3. Try to use it via Authelia or Apache Directory Studio
4. See error regarding RootDSE search failing.

Expected behavior I would expect it to work like it does on OpenLDAP or FreeIPA.

Version and Deployment:

• authentik version: 2022.7.3
• Deployment: Helm

Although I enjoy Authentik, I think their LDAP implementation is pretty rudimentary. Using OpenLDAP and letting Authentik check against it as the source of truth, in my opinion, is much cleaner.

Except that if you delete the user form ldap, it doesn't delete from Authentik like that.
