Hi Michael,
The command mentioned by you is running fine and it doesn't show any error.
That means that simple bind works fine.
*By stating "I am able to login to the server", I meant that I am able to
establish an ssh session (via putty) with the server by providing user id
and password. In that case, I don't really understand the error while
logging in by that user id.*
Thanks for your support.

What does "I am able to login to the server" mean exactly. Did you test
with ldapwhoami -x -D <bind-DN of asimananda> -W whether simple bind works?

Looks like an setup error in your PAM setup. Check the ldap.conf related
to the pam_ldap module. I don't know Ubuntu so I can't help here.
Ciao, Michael.
