Description
The UCL OpenLDAP servers will go away soon-ish. We must stop using them.
We should be able to instead use LDAP server ldap-auth-ad.ucl.ac.uk. Probably need to use a different bind credential -- AD\sa-ritsldap01 should work, with the password already present in /shared/ucl/etc/adpw.

Research direction
Locate the realname configuration or scripts that reference the UCL OpenLDAP servers, then inspect the replacement server and bind credential details in the issue, including /shared/ucl/etc/adpw. Done means the relevant configuration no longer uses the old servers and authenticates against ldap-auth-ad.ucl.ac.uk; verify with the repository's available checks or a safe authentication test.
