Cognos 8 authentication to LDAP on Linux not succesfull

[naarts]

We are trying to use an LDAP authentication within Cognos 8 installed on Linux.

While adding an new namespace of type LDAP there are several fields that should filled in. Some off them are directly related to parts of the slapd.config and some not.

In the slapd.config (linux) the next lines are activ:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
database ldbm
suffix "dc=services,dc=local"
rootdn "cn=admin,dc=services,dc=local"
rootpw .....
directory /var/lib/ldap
index objectClass,uid,uidNumber,gidNumber,memberuid eq
index cn,mail,surname,givenname eq subinitial
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the resource properties of the new namespace (Cognos 8) the next modifications are made:
----------------------------
type: ldap
Namespace id: ldbm
Host and port: ......:389
Base distinguished name: "dc=services,dc=local"
Bind user and password: root and root password
-----------------------------

during the connection test of the ldap server the next errors appears
==========================
['LDAP']
1. [ ERROR ] CAM-AAA-0146 The namespace 'abcd' is not available.
CAM-AAA-0064 The function 'CAM_AAA_Configure2' failed.
The user cannot access the application at this time.
CAM-AAA-0056 Unable to authenticate.
CAM-AAA-0064 The function 'LDAPHandlePool::CreateHandle()' failed.
CAM-AAA-0026 The function call to 'ldap_simple_bind_s' failed with error code: '34'
Invalid DN syntax
===========================

From cognos KB 1003516

Change User Lookup from:
${userID}
to:
cn={$userID}

When fail, other variable to try:
(cn=${userID})

In "account mapping\User name" try:
change:
uid
into:
cn
