This does not look like a valid ldapsearch: ldapsearch -x -h localhost -D"uid=admin,ou=root" -b"cn=ou=root>" "(ObjectClass=subEngine)" dn | grep "^dn:" | wc -l) The -b setting in particular looks broken, which is problem why you are getting that message.Sorry, the base DN in the search should be -b"ou=root", my mistake. I tried to shorten it in the message...
Please provide the exact ldapsearch in its entirety then (minus any password).
