Description

1. ldappasswd -a foobar -x -D 'uid=admin,ou=system'
   ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
   additional info: Bind failed: null

and the logfile says:
INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/03/05 14:44:43 | [14:44:43] INFO [org.apache.directory.server.core.authn.SimpleAuthenticator] - Password not correct for user 'uid=admin,ou=system'
INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/03/05 14:44:43 | [14:44:43] INFO [org.apache.directory.server.core.authn.AuthenticationService] - Authenticator class org.apache.directory.server.core.authn.SimpleAuthenticator failed to authenticate uid=admin,ou=system
INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/03/05 14:44:43 | [14:44:43] INFO [org.apache.directory.server.core.authn.AuthenticationService] - Cannot bind to the server

but the password is correct, using it with e.g. ldapsearch or ApacheDirectoryStudio works.

The same problem occurs with a test-user, it's not specific to uid=admin
