    No encrypted rootdnsecret entry. You might try adding one and then
    creating an ldap.secret file containing the secret in clear. This file
    needs to be owned by root (or the ldap user) with 600 permissions. In
    some cases the client machines will need the secret too else binding for
    root operations will not happen.
