The ldap config is complex and requires at least 2 env vars to be set.
I'll need to check with Chrissie if it's possible to pass them embedded
in the URL as I am really not the ldap expert.
The other problem is that we don't want to special case too much on the
command line because it means keeping the tool constantly up to date
with all possible loaders and custom loaders that users could/might
write.
The whole point of reading the configuration from sysconfig/cman is that
once the user sets it to a custom loader, ccs_config_validate picks it
up automatically without effort that would otherwise require both coding
on our side and extra parameters from the user to validate.
