The ldap-utils were already installed. I did the ldapsearch you gave me, but after inputting my admin password it gives me *ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)* I logged into the ldap server with my admin credentials (which worked fine) and changed my password to '12345', Trying that, still *Invalid credentials* .
1.) I tried that already. The error switches to syntax error then. 2.) Not really. An upper case letter and a number + various lowercase letters. Not very exotic. Is the pass_filter neccessary? I just wanted to make the installation as basic as possible, to not get any unwanted errors.
