Brad,

Could you give us more information?

1. FreeRadius version.
2. Output from radiusd -X -A
3. Relevant portions of configuration files (radiusd.conf).

Also check output from ldap server logs to see what is happening at that
end.
You might want to test the ldap server with ldapsearch to test your
queries against the ldap server.
