/**
 * The who am I extended request as defined in RFC 4532. This operation allows
 * clients to obtain the primary authorization identity, in its primary form,
 * that the server has associated with the user or application entity.
 * <p>
 * The following example demonstrates use of the Who Am I? request and response.
 *
 * <pre>
 * Connection connection = ...;
 * String name = ...;
 * char[] password = ...;
 *
 * Result result = connection.bind(name, password);
 * if (result.isSuccess()) {
 *     WhoAmIExtendedRequest request = Requests.newWhoAmIExtendedRequest();
 *     WhoAmIExtendedResult extResult = connection.extendedRequest(request);
 *
 *     if (extResult.isSuccess()) {
 *         // Authz ID: "  + extResult.getAuthorizationID());
 *     }
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * This operation may preferable to the Authorization Identity Controls
 * mechanism defined in RFC 3829, which uses Bind request and response controls
 * to request and return the authorization identity. Bind controls are not
 * protected by security layers established by the Bind operation that includes
 * them. While it is possible to establish security layers using StartTLS prior
 * to the Bind operation, it is often desirable to use security layers
 * established by the Bind operation. An extended operation sent after a Bind
 * operation is protected by the security layers established by the Bind
 * operation.
