Hi All,
I have have a requirement where I need ldap users with blank passwords to be 
able authenticate. I understand that a bind with any DN and a blank password is 
treated as an anonymous bind by LDAP and that this is a "feature" of the RFC and 
not OpenLDAP itself, correct?
Does anyone know a work around or some way of allowing clients to authenticate 
with blank passwords?
Thank you kindly.
