syncrepl binds with no password

[Bill Whiting <textux@bellsouth.net>]

I'm trying to setup a simple replication.
I configured syncrepl in the consumer to use the user syncuser to access 
the master ldap but when it connects to the master it does not send the 
password for syncuser, so the master errors with:

   unauthenticated bind (DN with no password) disallowed


Here's the replication definition in the consumer:

syncprov-checkpoint 100 10
syncrepl rid=000
 provider=ldap://192.168.77.218
 type=refreshOnly
 interval=00:00:02:00
 retry="5 5 300 +"
 searchbase="dc=idi-test,dc=com"
 attrs=*
 bindmethod=simple
 binddn="uid=syncuser,ou=People,dc=idi-test,dc=com"
 credentials={SHA}jHXtTHIeoSUGGge0YOB5dJQeXf4=

What am I missing?
