It is best to put your question in the body of the message rather than all in the subject line.

env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,args[0]);         env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,args[1]);

What values did you supply for these? What happened? What did you expect to happen?

dn: uid=nagios,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com ... userPassword::

dn: uid=test1,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com ... userPassword::

dn: uid=test2,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com ... userPassword::

All three accounts appear to have blank passwords. LDAP servers will not normally allow authentication with a blank password. For testing, you can easily add passwords like this:

userPassword: secret

Note the single ':' character. If you use '::' then the data is expected to be in Base 64.
