MongoDB Enterprise for Windows does not support binding via
``saslauthd``.
.. important::

:abbr:`Windows (Microsoft Windows)` does not support the ``saslauthd``
daemon. MongoDB servers running version 3.2 or prior cannot connect to an
LDAP server for authentication. You cannot apply this tutorial to a MongoDB
server running on :abbr:`Windows (Microsoft Windows)`.

The sentence order here is a little odd. "Windows does not support saslauthd. You need MongoDB 3.4+. You cannot use this tutorial with Windows".

Can you consolidate the last sentence with the first?


MongoDB 3.4 or later supports binding to an LDAP server via system

I think that "MongoDB 3.4 and later" is preferable

libraries for :ref:`LDAP authentication <security-ldap>` or :ref:`LDAP
authorization <security-ldap-external>`. To configure a MongoDB 3.4
deployment running on :abbr:`Windows (Microsoft Windows)` for LDAP proxy
authentication, see
:doc:`/tutorial/authenticate-nativeldap-activedirectory`.
