So even if you set tls=0 on olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config, you need that
authz-regexp? Because I just set tls=0, and "-Y EXTERNAL" over ldapi:/// is now
complaining about requiring TLS again.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty new to LDAP, so I don't know how to define that
authz-regexp. I don't what a regex is, of course, I just don't know what to
tell the LDAP server...
