Then just use SASL/EXTERNAL and don't use any passwords at all.
Ok. It seems this does what I want:
authz-regexp
"gidNumber=0\\+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth"
"cn=config"
database config
rootdn "cn=config"
#rootpw none
$ ldapwhoami -YEXTERNAL -H ldapi:///
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
dn:cn=config
Only question now is if this is enough to prevent people from binding as
cn=config on ldap://<public-IP>/, where the server is also listening.
