Hello Debianistas!
We're a bit new to the LDAP world and are having trouble configuring a
connection to the LDAP server.
Using "ldapsearch" as a diagnostic tool, here's what we are getting:
# ldapsearch -h 10.3.1.37
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6)
So we need a username/password pair to connect then, right? We've
figured out how to specify the password, but not a username:
# ldapsearch -x -h 10.3.1.37 -W -X u:ldapuser
ldapsearch: -X incompatible with authentication choice
# ldapsearch -x -h 10.3.1.37 -W -U ldapuser
ldapsearch: incompatible previous authentication choice
As you can see, the manpage seems to be assuming some background
information we don't know yet. :) And googling turned up some
questions with overlap to ours here, but the answers don't appear to
be posted in their entirety.
:(
Any pointers welcome -- thanks!
# ldapsearch -x -h 10.3.1.37 -W

You need to specify the username as part of the bind DN using the -D option:
ldapsearch -h ldap.example.com -b "<base DN here>" -D
"cn=<username>,<rest of bind DN here>" -W <filter>
