Authentication Failures after upgrade of openldap-openrc

after today's upgrade i could no longer connect to my imap-server (dovecot). I get authentication failures in evolution and thunderbird.
I cannot connect from console by ldapsearch:

pacman.log shows upgrades of dovecot-openrc and openldap-openrc.
Downgrade of dovecot-openrc had no effect. Downgrade of openldap-openrc solved the problem.
openldap-openrc contains /etc/init.d/slapd and /etc/conf.d/slapd. If /etc/conf.d/slapd is replaced by the previous version authentication problem is solved too.
I use classical configuration (/etc/openldap/slapd.conf).
What can i do?

found a solution by looking for differences in both versions of /etc/conf.d/slapd.  I had to uncomment the line
