Enabling Plain Text Authentication

There are a couple of options. First, use something that supports TLS
when using simple binds over a cleartext port. Most clients support this;
for example, the commannd-line version of ldapsearch (and related apps)
support this with -ZZ:

ldapsearch -ZZ -h serverIP -p 389 -D cn=admin,dc=user,dc=system -x -W

The other option is to go into iManager, get (if you do not have them) the
LDAP plugins installed, and then go to the LDAP Group and uncheck the
'Require TLS for Simple Binds with Passwords' options followed by an
eDirecgtory restart (or LDAP refresh if you know how).

Keep in mind that I mention the second option as it is the
least-preferred; doing that means you are specifically sending the
username and password over the wire in the clear so anybody sniffing
traffic will pick it up and have all of the rights of the user you are
using. Unless you have a very compelling reason to do so you should be
using something that protects passwords when sent over the wire. Doing
otherwise leaves you in the category of users who still use telnet and
non-anonymous FTP.

Good luck.
