Query related to LDAP Simple Binding after installing March Security update

Hi,

I know that in march there is a security update coming Security Update Guide - Microsoft Security Response Center

I'm assuming that once the update is applied/installed that the only way to support simple binding is:

1. use SSL
2. without SSL (Digest-MD5, NTLM, Kerberos)
3. Uninstall the security update.

Thanks
