It is best to put your question in the body of the message rather than all in the
subject line.

What values did you supply for these?
What happened?
What did you expect to happen?

All three accounts appear to have blank passwords. LDAP servers will
not normally allow authentication with a blank password. For testing,
you can easily add passwords like this:

userPassword: secret

Note the single ':' character. If you use '::' then the data is expected
to be in Base 64.
