I tried as per suggestions using man page. But still getting the error
ldapsearch -H ldap://xxx.yyy.com-D "cn=Directory Manager" "(objectclass=*)" -W -X _e3user Enter LDAP Password: SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6) additional info: SASL(-4): no mechanism available:
It now generates a new error. I tried using authconfig with --enableldap, --enablewinbind and --disableldaptls. Still users are not able to login to linux box using LDAP credentials.

Thanks for your suggestion. But still there is some problem. /ldapsearch -H ldap://ldap-sunnyvale.juniper.net -x -LL ou=people,dc=jnpr,dc=net "{mail=*norton*}" sn cn mail/ / / /Output: version: 1/ / / /Operations error (1)/ /Additional information: 00000000: LdapErr: DSID-0C090627, comment: In order to perform this operation a successful bind must be completed on the connection., data 0, vece/
Not sure the reason behind such errors. I think there is something wrong, because when I am trying to login linux box using ldap credentials, it simply closes the connection.
As it says in this error message: "a successful bind must be completed on the connection". This means you must authenticate to the LDAP server in order to search in it.
Check the -D and -w/-W options in the ldapsearch(1) man page. You'll need a valid account in your LDAP server and it's password.
