FWIW, I see the same here. Installed ipa-server under CentOS 7 (which 
gave me freeipa 4.2.0), and found anonymous binds allowed: tested by 
"ldapsearch -x ..."

I was able to disable anonymous bind (and also disable unencrypted 
queries) by changing the cn=config entry:

|dn: cn=config|
|changetype: modify|
|replace: nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access|
|nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access: rootdse|
|-|
|replace: nsslapd-minssf|
|nsslapd-minssf: 56|

I don't think this replicated from master to slave though, and I ended 
up doing it on slaves as well.

If there is an "official" way to disable anon bind on FreeIPA 4.x, I 
would like to know it.

Thanks,

Brian.
