However, none of the examples on the page

will work. For example:
C:\openldap>ldapsearch -D 'uid=admin,ou=system' -h localhost -p 10389 -x -w
secret -s one -b 'ou=users,ou=system' '(uid=jdoe)'
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
additional info: Bind failed

Any suggestions?
Hi Jeff!
At least for this one. I was able to reproduce this error and recommend
not to use '...' for the -D argument, but "..." (actually, for all of
the args!).
Which OS and LDAP clients do you use? I was able to reproduce it on
Windows XP with the IBM TivoliDS LDAP client:
C:\>ldapsearch -h magritte -p 10389 -b "ou=users,ou=system" -s base -D
'uid=admin,ou=system' -w secret "(objectclass=*)"
ldap_simple_bind: Invalid credentials
C:\>ldapsearch -h magritte -p 10389 -b "ou=users,ou=system" -s base -D
"uid=admin,ou=system" -w secret "(objectclass=*)"
ou=users,ou=system
objectClass=organizationalUnit
objectClass=top
ou=users
The same effect does not happen e.g. on Solaris9/bash with Suns own
ldapsearch. Here it doesn't matter whether one uses -D '...' or -D "..."
(this is why the example docs probably worked for the author, s/he used
a different environment).
Tell us whether it works for you now when you use -D "...". If yes, we
should update the examples.
