Hello,
I just came across this: "While Active Directory permits SASL binds to be
performed on an SSL/TLS-protected connection, it does not permit the use of
SASL-layer confidentiality/integrity protection mechanisms on such a
connection." (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc223507.aspx).
Could this be my issue? Is there a way to turn off the SASL-layer
confidentiality/integrity
protection mechanisms when I use openLDAP?
Thanks,
Kris

Thanks for letting me know that it's an ok use case.
The back end is AD, but it is a "black box" to me. I have access, but the
event viewer is empty. It does work if I use Kerberos only or TLS with
simple bind through. Is there anything you can suggest that I can do on
the server side to show me what it may be complaining about?
Thanks for your help!
