If you can do a simple bind (anonymous, or authenticated), there (in most 
cases) is nothing preventing other applications from doing simple binds. 
Having SASL support compiled in to the server does not prevent other 
applications for doing simple binds.

Maybe you should provide more information about the applications in question, 
and how they are configured.

(Note: In the past Apple's LDAP client software for Mac OS seems to use 
whichever SASL mechanisms are advertised by the LDAP server, but this again 
isn't about SASL support being compiled in or not).
