address book getting "LDAP Protocol Error"

[John Beamon <jbeamon@franklinamerican.com>]

I just got a 2.1.22 server working in an remote location.  From this 
desktop (Linux), I can successfully execute ldapsearch for my account 
against it.  When I add it as a directory server to Thunderbird and 
search for my account, it comes back silently with no results.  When 
Outlook users on our network attempt to sync Outlook's copy of the 
address book against this server, they get a popup reading "LDAP 
Protocol Error" and labeled "Messageware Address Book".

What's the difference between Thunderbird's request for my account and 
ldapsearch's request for my account?  I even changed my /etc/ldap.conf 
to point to that box instead of our usual directory, restarted nscd, and 
ran 'id jbeamon' successfully.  It's not confined to just ldapsearch or 
just pam_ldap.  It almost appears to be an email client issue, and I'm 
completely stumped.

P.S. This is the same server that had a 2.0.27 to 2.1.22 migration 
thread the last couple days.  I literally ran one more 'rm * ; slapadd 
-l LDIF ; chown ldap:ldap *; service ldap restart', just like the dozen 
before it, and it 'worked'.  I don't have any conclusive answer to my 
original migration issues, but it's up and running.
