You make your disagreement known to the CIO in a corporately-acceptable way - and move on. Chalk it down as one of the things numerous IT personnel encounter on a very regular basis everyday. Don't take it personal, is what I tell myself. Sincerely,

He then decides on his own that he will just tell the network guy to open port 389 to one of your production DCs without consulting, or even mentioning it to you or anyone else that may have something to say about the security risks. Then he asks you to create a test user account for a junior admin to test with, and gives the remote site the username and password. What do you do?
