Eliminate Anonymous Binds to LDAP server

Nagios XI version 5.4.8
RedHat version 7 running in a VMware instance

We have LDAP authentication enabled to our Oracle LDAP server.
It appears that Nagios uses an anonymous bind to check authentication.
We are in the process of disabling anonymous bind to our LDAP and will need to configure
Nagios to use a service account to query LDAP. I found an article that reference setting
up a service account for AD, but not for LDAP.

Where are you seeing anonymous binds or what steps are you taking to produce them? My understanding is that XI authenticates the ldap connections and reviewing packet captures containing ldap traffic, I do not see any anonymous binding.
