Before I post all the config files, I thought I'd start by showing the output of some commands.

I put a slappasswd password in the slapd.conf file. When prompted for this password, I've entered the correct password, the incorrect password, and no password by just pressing return. In these cases, with -x, the 'ldap_bind: Confidentiality required (13)' message appears.

Without -x, the 'ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Confidentiality required (13)' message appears.

I've thought of a few things I could try, but thought I'd ask if anyone might have any suggestions first about why these 'Confidentiality required (13)' messages appear, and how to fix it.

Thanks very much in advance
