ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: No such attribute (16)

Question

I am getting the error while running ldapsearch command and client side authentication also not coming.

Could anyone please help me to sort out the problem ?

ERROR MESSAGE

ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: No such attribute (16)

Thanks.

Do you intent using `SASL`? In not use `-x` to use simple authentication. — Yuvika, Aug 05 '14 at 19:02

The -x switch uses simple authentication instead of of the default SASL. So use something like this:

ldapsearch -x -h 192.268.0.78 -p 389 cn=root,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com

Wow, well this fixed my problem, but why?? My ldapsearch call involves neither authentication nor encryption :-? – Mike B Jun 26 '20 at 20:55
