According to http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/532.html, idassert-authzFrom is not needed in this case. Here is the example:

To allow (dumb) clients that do not perform bind to access servers that require bind (and some ssf) by asserting some static identity (the dn:<dn>, or even the anonymous mode, to implement the "sandbox" user described above) without any idassert-authzFrom rule in place:
    database        ldap
    suffix          "dc=example,dc=com"
    uri             "ldap://ldap.example.com"
    idassert-bind   bindmethod=simple
                    binddn="cn=Proxy,dc=example,dc=com"
                    credentials=proxy
                    authzID="dn:cn=Sandbox,dc=example,dc=com"

If no authzID is given, and mode is set to none (for instance because the remote server does not support the proxyAuthz control), the clients will be authorized as "cn=Proxy,dc=example,dc=com" even if they actually connected anonymously to the proxy. Beware that this may be a significant security breach, if that identity is granted anything but anonymous read privileges.

Hi,
In addition to ancient version, and according to reported configuration you are missed idassert-authzFrom setting. more details in slapd.conf(5).
Without this parameter you may have this issue.

Cheers.

Hello,


I've setup a simple proxy so that local LDAP clients can get access to

What am I doing wrong? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

The first thing you're doing wrong is running a version of OpenLDAP that
is so ancient.

OpenLDAP 2.4.31 Release (2012/04/21)

I.e., it's over 3 years old.

There have been multiple fixes to slapd-ldap since that release.  This
one in particular may be related:

OpenLDAP 2.4.33 Release (2012/10/10)
        Fixed slapd-ldap idassert bind handling (ITS#7403)
