Hi,

this message generally means that you have no SASL-mechanism configured. 
You will generally have to set up the sasl-realm parameter ins 
slapd.conf and add an appropriate user to the sasldb with the saslpasswd 
command (the sasldblistusers command will show you the users in your 
sasldb).

This is just an example, generally you will first have to set up SASL to 
work as desired and then add the appropriate keywords to slapd.conf (a 
man slapd.conf will help you, if you search for sasl...)

Yours
