Hi everyone,
 
I'm a newbie at OpenLDAP; just 3 weeks into installing my first LDAP master server and now trying set up a replica server.  I've followed these instructions, http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/replication.html,  but whenever I execute "/usr/lib/openldap/slurpd -d 3 -t /var/lib/slurpd" on the master server for debugging, the following error message appears:
Error: ldap_simple_bind_s for flcsdev1-1.comm.mot.com:389 failed: Invalid credentials
It's probably a simple configuration issue, but not sure. Do you see anything out of place?  Here are my slapd configuration files:

Any advice and feedback is very much appreciated. If more information is required, please let me know.
 
Thank you very much,
