It's a file name slapd.conf, located in a sasl specific directory. You
should consult your OS's documentation for its location. /usr/lib/sasl2 and
/etc/sasl/ are two common locations.

I suspect you are right, as your analysis indicates.

If your goal is to reduce syslog output, use a syslog level lower than
auth.debug. libsasl2 expects you to only be doing so during debugging, as
discussed here:
