While retrying, back-meta destroys the failed connection to a remote target, and re-creates it. However, it loses the credentials, while restoring the bound DN. As a consequence, the connection looks bound, but it's actually anonymous. A fix is coming. The fix either preserves the credentials, when rebind-as-user is set, or turns the connection into anonymous. The latter case is of little practical use, and should only be used in conjunction with idassert, so that in case of retry, from that point on identity is asserted.
