Server: OpenLDAP 2.3.32, CentOS 4.4, x86_64, userPassword={SSHA}xxxxx.
Client: OS-X 10.4.9 (Intel), with TLS.

Hopefully there are some folks on this list that have visited this one. I have used OpenLDAP for a long time, but am new to OS-X in this context. Everything works perfectly (uid<->name, gid<->name, automount, ldapsearch, etc etc), except...

It appears that the OS-X login window (or an ssh that requires a password) causes an attempted SASL bind to the LDAP server, which fails (expected, in this case). I have used an ACL to hide supportedSASLMechanisms, which for now allows folks to log in by bypassing the SASL bind and performing a simple bind. However, shouldn't OS-X fall back to a simple bind if the SASL bind does not work? It doesn't, and I can't see any way to configure that on the client.

I don't really want to block usage of SASL just because of OSX, but configuration of SASL is not possible at present for other reasons. Perhaps there is a way to tell OS-X not to attempt the SASL bind in the first place?

I also see the first TLS connection rejected, followed immediately by
a successful connection, but I'm less concerned about that right now.

TIA,
Steve
