Description of Problem: When I do ldapsearch -x -Z -L -s "base" -b "" supportedSASLMechanisms withver 2.0.21 of openldap, I get an empty list of sasl mechs. when downgrading to 2.0.14 the problem goes away. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.14 How Reproducible: Very, Steps to Reproduce: Se above. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
This is apparently the result of RH starting slapd as user "ldap", and thus the sasl libraries won't provide access to the (root-owned) sasldb. Try removing "- u ldap" from /etc/init.d/ldap; that fixed it for me.
