Ahhh okie you're right on.  My bad.

This is quite correct. There are even some (stupid) security programs that will say being able to read the rootDSE is a vulnerability. OTOH, I've always left it read to the world, most clients prefer it. :P


There are also tests within the Open Group LDAP certification suite which check whether the Root DSE is readable anonymously. But it is OK, if we are able to configure a server to behave like that for a test run. No need to make that the default.
