  • LDAP
  • Anonymous

Answer

This behavior is expected. 
LDAP client would always start bind mechanism in the order of sasl , then simple and lastly anonymous . 
Also, if '-bind-as-cifs-server' is set, then '-min-bind-level' is ignored, and only sasl will be used.

Additional Information

If the 'min-bind-level' is set to simple, rejecting anonymous binds has no impact.
