This success message indicates that the connection to the directory

directory service using the "Who am I" operation (it is possible that
this operation is not available in your directory service) and allows

is especially imported when you use SASL EXTERNAL Bind when the
directory service is free to map your certificate data to a directory
service identity based on its own configuration).
