FR + LDAP + ADS - rlm_ldap: ldap_search() failed: Operations error [unclas]

[Ranner, Frank MR]

Are you sure that the uid attribute is even in Active Directory. Chances
are the usernames 
are in the sAMAccountName attribute. Since you now seem to be able to
bind, why not use the 
ldapsearch utility to show entries in the o=tfxschool,c=AU subtree.

  ldapsearch -x -h <hostname> -D  "cn=admin,o=tfxschool,c=AU" -w pass -b
"o=tfxschool,c=AU" 'objectclass=*'

This will show you what attributes there are, and whether the password
is readable. 

Regards,
Frank Ranner
