Issue Summary

ExtUserDirectoryConnectionStateIpdJob (running on the ipd-worker thread) performs a broad LDAP search rather than a simple connection "ping" or bind. 

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Confluence version 9.2.5
2. Setup and LDAP connection
3. Ensure IPD is enabled
4. Now enable DEBUG logging for below class to see the IPD logs in the atlassian-confluence-security.log file

com.atlassian.crowd.directory.ldap.monitoring  

Expected Results

• The health check triggers should not run searches and it can only be a test connection

Actual Results

• We can see seraching being executed in LDAP from the IPD threads for all users
