Wrong idea I think. The simplest thing to try is to mask the bind password

immediately shows in the log files that the password is missing.

HI

if you put the bind password back in the configuration and take out the ldap_bind = yes or set it to no in the passdb ldap config, does that go back to working again? If so is the error message about userpassword still produced?
