    Markus,

    SASL is a server-offers - client-chooses specification. DIGEST-MD5 is a
    256 bit mechanism and GSSAPI is a 56 bit mechanism, so DIGEST-MD5 may be
    preferred if no mechanism, or security properties, are specified.

    See the manpage for ldap.conf to force a default SASL mechanism for the
    OpenLDAP client utilities.

    You can put 'SASL_MECH GSSAPI' within ~/.ldaprc.

    - Dan
