Why are you using compare at all? The server already checked the password when it accepted your Bind with -D and -w <password>. I don't think there's an ldap tool which does nothing but Bind, so you have to ask it to do something afterwards but it doesn't really matter what. In such cases I usually use ldapwhoami:
ldapwhoami -x -D "uid=testuser,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=net" -w test
The -x disables SASL, which you do not use or want with -D/-w. SASL is on by default if you have compiled in support for it.
BTW, maybe you want to use -y <file> for the password instead. Note that the file contents must NOT end with a newline, unless the newline is part of the password.
