Ok I completed the dn as thus:
*dn = cn=admin,dc=luenenet,dc=de*
And now wehn i try* a login Username Password *over *telnet localhost 143* I
get
*a NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.*
I confirmed that the user password is correct.
by the way,* ldapsearch -x -D 'cn=admin,dc=[domainname],dc=de' -w 12345 -b
'dc=[**domainname**],dc=de' cn* gives me:
*| # [**domainname*
*].de*
*| dn: dc=[**domainname**],dc=de*
*| #admin, [**domainname*
*].de*
*| dn: cn=admin,dc=[**domainname*
*],dc=de*
*| cn: admin*
*| # [User Name], [**domainname*
*].de*
*| dn: cn=[User Name],dc=[**domainname*
*],dc=de*
*| cn: [User Name]*
*| #search result*
*| search: 2*
*| result: 0 Success*
*| # numResponses: 4*
*| # numEntries: 3*
