This used to work...
$ sudo ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -f 30logging.ldif 
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
modifying entry "cn=config"
ldap_modify: Confidentiality required (13)
additional info: stronger confidentiality required

The log says
slapd[1266]: conn=6619437 op=0 
BIND dn="gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth" 
mech=EXTERNAL sasl_ssf=0 ssf=71

This is my olcSecurity setting:
olcSecurity: ssf=128 simple_bind=128

How would I fix this? It seems to be a catch-22.
