In the given example, the CBT would be included in authentication requests for hosts "a", "b.c" and all hosts under the domain "d.com" and all of its sub-domains.

I think this method should stay here. Suppose one day the CBT type is configurable for HTTPS we'll have to get it back. Of course we will need to update the message to avoid talking about LDAP.
