Hi
Thanks so much for responding to my post.
I managed to find out this but from what I don't get is why after having
installed and configured clients to authenticate towards the server
correctly they still don't do it, I have looked for any log files that could
give me some clue of what I have done rong but no luck the error log in the
admin interface says nothing that is of use, I have also read the manual
from one side to the other but I can not find anything that tells me what
steps that I have been forgetting.
Is there any error logs that it generats that it generates that can give me
some more clues?
Regards
Per Qvindesland

This is because the openldap ldapsearch client attempts SASL
authentication by default. You have to specify -x to make it use simple
(username/password or anonymous) authentication.

I don't think this is a security problem.
