My question is - Do the credentials have to be clear text passwords? If
not,
how do I mention encrypted passwords? (I tried within quotes ' ' and "
", but
each time got invalid credentials error)
This clause configures the client side of the connection, so the credentials must be a clear text password.
The other server will have an entry for cn=admin,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com in its database, and the password in that entry should be hashed.
Obviously you must protect the config file carefully using OS-level file permissions.
