phpldapadmin Config

[Josiah Ritchie <jritchie@bible.edu>]

I'm trying to configure phpldapadmin to authenticate users from LDAP.
I'm seeing the following in my logs.

Jul 13 07:11:12 localhost slapd[2481]: conn=1 fd=12 ACCEPT from
IP=127.0.0.1:33073 (IP=0.0.0.0:389)
Jul 13 07:11:12 localhost slapd[2483]: conn=1 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128

I've confirmed that password and username are existent and correct. In
fact, other devices that are not doing anonymous binds work fine. I
*think* I'm configured properly for anon bind. If I tell phpldapadmin to
bind anonymously it works, but it can't get any information (cause I
don't want it to).

My slapd.conf is striipped down to bare bones here:
include     /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include     /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include     /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema

        by users read
        by anonymous auth
access to dn=".*,dc=cougarnet,dc=bible,dc=edu" attr="userPassword"
        by dn="cn=Manager,ou=people,dc=cougarnet,dc=bible,dc=edu" write
        by dn="cn=samba,ou=People,dc=cougarnet,dc=bible,dc=edu" write
        by self write
        by * auth
allow bind_v2 bind_anon_cred
database        bdb
suffix          "dc=cougarnet,dc=bible,dc=edu"
rootdn          "cn=Manager,dc=cougarnet,dc=bible,dc=edu"
rootpw          *********
directory       /var/lib/openldap-data
index objectClass,uidNumber,gidNumber                   eq
index cn,surname,uid,displayName                        pres,sub
index memberUID,mail,givenname                          eq,subinitial
index sambaSID,sambaPrimaryGroupSID,sambaDomainName     eq

Am I right in thinking that phpldapadmin is trying to bind anonymously
and then authenticate someone else and having trouble with it? If so
what can I do to straighten this out? If not, what is my issue and what
do I need to read to figure out the fix?

Thanks,
