[ale] OpenLDAP: So close and yet so far

[Jeff Hubbs]

I've gotten an OpenLDAP server running and an OpenLDAP client configured 
(same machine for now, but other clients will follow once I finally get 
this working) to the point where if I try to log in to the client, I get 
"sshd[3069]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user 
"uid=jeffldap,ou=Users,dc=clacorp,dc=com" (Invalid credentials)" in 
/var/log/messages.  I don't get that message if I use some random 
known-not-good username, but I do get it if I use the right username but 
a bad password.  I can use the right password to run ldapsearch for 
myself *as myself* and get a good result and ldapwhoami also works.  
Where might I have gone wrong?
