*Right.  That usually means the server was expecting an encrypted SASL 
buffer from the client, but instead the client thinks SASL encryption 
negotiation failed and just sent a plain LDAP buffer. What version of 
389-ds-base are you using?  rpm -q 389-ds-base

https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47416

So, DO NOT increase your sasl io buffer size - it will not fix the 
problem, and it will leave you open to DoS attacks.
