Given the hyperbola $\dfrac {x^{2}}{a^{2}}- \dfrac {y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ ($a > 0$, $b > 0$), its left and right vertices are $A$ and $B$, respectively. The right focus is $F$, and the line $l$ passing through point $F$ and perpendicular to the $x$-axis intersects the hyperbola at points $M$ and $N$. $P$ is a point on line $l$. When $\angle APB$ is maximized, point $P$ is exactly at $M$ (or $N$). Determine the eccentricity of the hyperbola.
