There is no "anonymous user." The LDAP server supports anonymous bind, which means you don't bind as a user. Most software allows you to supply empty strings for DN and password to do this. https://ldap.com/the-ldap-bind-operation/

I am only providing this : url ldap://nsp-openldap-local:389; binddn ou=people,dc=odc,dc=im; binddn_passwd ; require valid_user;

So what is the problem when you provide empty DN/password?
