Cannot log on at all, or does logon timeout?
One reason could be that the logon process may indirectly try to connect
to the ldap-server (through some library functions or other) and it then
waits for timeout during which the logon process itself timeouts.
Try using the following parameters in /etc/ldap.conf:
timelimit 30
bind_timelimit 30
bind_policy soft
These were mentioned earlier in the 'OpenLDAP user authentication'
