ldap_bind: Inappropriate authentication

The server returns Invalid credentials when the password or bind DN is incorrect. The server returns inappropriate authentication when the client attempts to bind as one of the following:

• An entry that does not have a userpassword attribute
• An entry that represents an i5/OS user, which has a UID attribute and not a userpassword attribute. This causes a compare to be done between the password specified and the i5/OS user password, which do not match.
• An entry that represents a projected user and a bind method other than simple has been requested.

This error is usually generated when the client attempts to bind with a password that is not valid. To obtain details about the error, look at the QDIRSRV job log as described in Monitor errors and access with the Directory Server job log.
