No surprise there, as your later search shows the user has a different DN:

This session is anonymous (no BIND operation).

err=50

If you look that up you find:

	insufficientAccessRights (50)

	Indicates that the client does not have sufficient access rights
	to perform the operation.

So the anon user does not have the right to do a search from the base
"dc=group1,dc=ldap" (this says nothing about the right to read the uid=lou
entry).

You have an ACL problem. I suggest removing all ACLs and starting with this:

access to attrs="userPassword"
        by self =w
        by * auth

access to * by * read

Once you have the basic service working you can start thinking about ACLs.
You may then want to define an account for your Linux client machines to use
when accessing LDAP so that you don't have to give anon access to your data.
