`-x' flag a necessity?

[E M Recio <n2wog@usa.net>]

I was wondering if the -x flag on ldapsearch command was a necessity, or was
it because of my compile time/configuration issue? 

If I try to execute a simple ldap search (when either binding as a user, or
anonymous) without the '-x' flag, it returns an error: no such object. If,
however, i issue the -x flag, everything works perfectly. (No encryption or
anything is being used on the server.) 

I was wondering if this was standard behavior or whether there was something
misconfigured with the server.
