Well despite all you help I have still not succeeded in this - for what seems 
a fairly basic and simple process the set up seems horrendously complicated!

I have now given up and started with a freshly installed Ubuntu client (rather 
than the Kubuntu ones I have been using)
I then installed and configured ebox-desktop as at trac.ebox-
platform.com/wiki/Document/Documentation/EboxDestop as this is designed to 
work with Ubuntu
the access logs report that the ldap server is not available

On the server I have tried to look at the contents using slapcat - this works 
fine.
ldapsearch -h localhost * asks me for a password
my ldap password (as entered  during ebox install) does not work
the ldap password as found in ldap.secrets does not work
my local (to ebox machine) password does not work

If I can not search the ldap data from the local machine would this be why my 
client machine can not authenticate, as it can not find anything on the server?


A windows machine is happily authenticating from the same server with no 
hassle at all
