Unless you've explicitly set up a SASL authentication method, you're
probably using simple authentication.  Indicate this to linux via the
"-x" command line option to most ldap utils.  Test it via ldapsearch, first.

E.g.:

  ldapsearch -H ldap://hostname uid=some_known_uid

should fail with a similar error.  whereas:

  ldapsearch -x -H ldap://hostname uid=some_known_uid

should work.

Another note.  You should be able to put most of the necessary default
host, search base and similar information into /etc/ldap.conf and
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf (you can cheat and make them symlinks to each
other) so that you don't have to enter -H options, and suchlike.
