RE: LDAP problems with "allow bind_v2"

["Howard Chu" <hyc@symas.com>]

Read the slapd.conf(5) manpage that came with your version of OpenLDAP.
"allow bind_v2" is not used with OpenLDAP 2.0 because V2 binds are always
enabled by default in that version. Pay more attention to the error messages;
it will say "unknown feature" when you move the "allow" to the correct
location because "bind_v2" is not a OpenLDAP 2.0 keyword.
