After a quick Google search, it appears that that the LDAPSearch command that I was using is based upon the OpenLDAP product, which defaults to using an authentication mechanism called Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL). Therefore, the LDAPSearch command was expecting to find a SASL-enabled server at the other end - given that I wasn't using OpenLDAP as a server ( I was actually using Domino LDAP ), the trick was to disable the SASL authentication on the client, using the -X switch e.g. ldapsearch -x -h hostname.domain.com cn=foobar or: - ldapsearch -x -h hostname.domain.com -b o=organisation -D cn=admin -w password cn=foobar
