I added the following commands to '/etc/ldap/ldap.conf' on my Ubuntu server that was Authenticating against 'ubuntuldap.kb0odu.net'.
#BASE dc=example,dc=com #URI ldap://ldap.example.com ldap://ldap-master.example.com:666 #SIZELIMIT 12 #TIMELIMIT 15 #DEREF never #BASE dc=localdomain #URI ldap://ubuntuldap.kb0odu.net URI ldap://ubuntuldap.kb0odu.net BASE dc=localdomain ldap_version 3 SSL no rootbinddn cn=admin,dc=localdomain
Something else added the following line:
