problem with replication

never did replication and certain to be something that I did but this is the type of error I am getting...

Sep 15 10:58:44 srv1 slapd[2766]: slap_client_connect: URI=ldap://srv2.ayr1.local DN="cn=admin,cn=config" ldap_sasl_bind_s failed (-1) Sep 15 10:58:44 srv1 slapd[2766]: do_syncrepl: rid=002 rc -1 retrying (4 retries left)

Obviously because I didn't tell it NOT to use SASL bind for replication.

Is there some simple adjustment to use something other than SASL for credentials when replicating?
