Thanks for suggestion. However still no luck. Yes _e3user was password. I tried -W and -w too. BTW, let me again repeat the steps done for configuration

• Install openldap
• Change /etc/openldap/ldap.conf property file
• Tried to login to linux box using LDAP credential -> it did not work
• Tried running authconfig with enableldap, enableldapauth etc... with

-update all filter

• Tried to login to linux box using LDAP credential -> Linux box

unexpectedly closed the connection and putty window closed

• Tried to run ldapsearch.....here I am now

Do you think, there are some steps or configurations I am missing.

Yes. To login via LDAP on your Linux box you also need to configure PAM and NSS. Plenty of information on that by googling.
