Hello,

ldapadd used without -x and without SASL of course performs
a simple bind and add entries to the OpenLDAP server. Other
LDAP clients, e.g. ldapsearch, ldapwhoami, .. still
require -x for simple authentication.

Thank you,

Hi Werner,

I do not see such behavior when using ldapadd against a publicly available ldap server:

root@d10build:/var/log# ldapadd -H ldap://ldap.stanford.edu
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6)
additional info: SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found


Instead, without -x, ldapadd immediately moves on to trying a SASL bind.

Are you sure there isn't something providing defaults to the ldap client, such as an ~/.ldaprc file or modified /etc/ldap/ldap.conf?

Regards,
Quanah
