Use a "-h server" option to eliminate any preexisting ldap.conf from

>/tmp/1.ldif is like this:

Bad LDIF.  Each attribute value assertion should be left

was returned.

The FAQ, I believe, states that invalid credentials can be returned
for any number of reasons, such as when the DN provided is not valid.
