Re: (ITS#8546) "allow bind_anon_cred" in slapd.conf does not work as expected

[quanah@symas.com]

Hello Yelin,

The ITS system is for filing bug reports, not for asking help with slapd 
configuration.  The correct resource for configuration questions is the 
openldap-technical list:

<http://www.openldap.org/lists/mm/listinfo/openldap-technical>


Your understanding of how this feature works is incorrect.  As noted in the 
slapd.conf(5) man page:

bind_anon_cred allows anonymous bind when credentials are not empty (e.g. 
when DN is empty).

The option you are looking for in your case is:

bind_anon_dn  allows unauthenticated (anonymous) bind when DN is not empty.

This ITS will be closed.

Regards,
Quanah
