Hi,

After series of trial and error I finally get it working. The following configuration
works for openldap-2.4.16:

overlay chain
chain-uri "ldap://server.group"
#chain-uri "ldaps:///server.group" - not working at all[1]?
chain-idassert-bind bindmethod=sasl
        saslmech=EXTERNAL
        binddn="cn=whatever"
        #starttls=yes/critical - even this?
        tls_cert=/etc/ldap/ssl/replicator-cert.pem
        tls_key=/etc/ldap/ssl/replicator-key.pem
        tls_cacert=/etc/ssl/certs/mgoc-cacert.pem
        tls_reqcert=demand
        mode=self
chain-tls start
chain-idassert-authzFrom "*"
chain-return-error         TRUE

$ ldappasswd -x -D 'uid=guest,ou=users,dc=server,dc=group' -w1234 -sguest

from the master you may something like this one:

Jul 18 11:45:44 server slapd[1275]: conn=1 op=6 PROXYAUTHZ dn="uid=guest,ou=users,dc=server,dc=group"
Jul 18 11:45:44 server slapd[1275]: conn=1 op=6 EXT oid=1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.1
Jul 18 11:45:44 server slapd[1275]: conn=1 op=6 PASSMOD new
Jul 18 11:45:44 server slapd[1275]: conn=1 op=6 RESULT oid= err=0 text=

on the slave:

Jul 18 11:47:30 slave slapd[8915]: conn=0 op=0 BIND dn="uid=guest,ou=users,dc=server,dc=group" method=128
Jul 18 11:47:30 slave slapd[8915]: conn=0 op=0 BIND dn="uid=guest,ou=Users,dc=server,dc=group" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0
Jul 18 11:47:30 slave slapd[8915]: conn=0 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text=
Jul 18 11:47:30 slave slapd[8915]: conn=0 op=1 EXT oid=1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.1
Jul 18 11:47:30 slave slapd[8915]: conn=0 op=1 PASSMOD new
Jul 18 11:47:30 slave slapd[8915]: conn=0 op=1 RESULT oid= err=0 text=

Thanks for all the people that tried to help me.

As I said, by using the "-x" mechanism, you are completely disabling SASL.
Thus no SASL/EXTERNAL method is going to work.
