I am setting up a simple LDAP server. I have a few entries that I am playing with for user authentication. I have phpldapadmin set up and I can verify that the passwords are correct.

However, when I test authentication usign ldapwhoami or ldapsearch (anonymous) it always fails with invalid credentials or no records found.

Can anyone provide any clues on what might be going on?
