Hello,

I have a few Ubuntu Server machines that I need to authenticate against OS X OD. I've done the usual dance with auth-client-config and so forth, and I can authenticate fine. Trouble comes, however, when I want to set up so that local root is an LDAP DB admin. I see a lot of this:

failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://---------------:389/: Invalid credentialsThe rootbinddn is set to (what I think is) a valid Open Directory administrator account and I can authenticate just fine without having a rootbinddn set (which tells me that the search base is valid). But when I set up a rootbinddn, stuff breaks. /etc/ldap.secret contains a valid password and is appropriately chmod'ded (0600). What am I missing?

FWIW, the rootbinddn entry in /etc/ldap.conf is:
rootbinddn cn=dbadmin,cn=users,dc=my,dc=ldap,dc=domain,dc=edu Thanks in advance.
