Hello,

Thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better.  Can you
take a look at the development docs here:
http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html

They should address the most issues you have with the client authentication
portion.

That file should probably be mentioned more prominently, but to configure a
client for LDAP authentication it isn't strictly necessary.

I'm not sure I agree.  Explaining details certain attributes may give the
impression that they are required for in order to use OpenLDAP.  For example
if someone intends to create a simple LDAP Address Book the loginShell
attribute wouldn't be important to them.

Thanks again.
