The auth protocol. I guess you are doing plain text auth and you suddenly
switched form one client, using LDAPv2 libraries, to another (or the same,
recompiled) with LDAPv3 libraries. In case of ldapsearch, to perform plain
text bind you need to add -x to the OpenLDAP 2.0 version where the
OpenLDAP 1.X was working as expected.
