[Bug 636363] [NEW] After importing backend.ldif I get "Invalid credentials (49) "

[Zaphod]

Public bug reported:

So I was trying to document configuring a new OpenLDAP install in
Maverick but I ran into problems pretty quick. After I import my
backend.ldif file I am unable to import the front end because of the
error "Invalid credentials (49)".

Here is what I did. I can't see any mistakes so far:

sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils

load some additional schema files

sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.ldif
sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/nis.ldif
sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/inetorgperson.ldif

create a file called "backend.lan.local.ldif"

load it into the LDAP

sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f backend.lan.local.ldif

Create a file called "frontend.lan.local.ldif" on the server.

import front end configuration

sudo ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=lan,dc=local -W -f
frontend.lan.local.ldif

Here is where I get 
"Enter LDAP Password: 
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)"

>From what I can tell I haven't made any mistake.
