  That's a message from the LDAP server.  Fix the LDAP server so it allows FreeRADIUS to connect to it.

  Please don't post screenshots.  The mailing list removes them, because they're not helpful.

  It helps to READ the debug output.  In this case, you tried to start it in debug mode, while it was already running as a deamon.

  We don't ask for that.  We don't need it.

  Fix the LDAP server so that it allows FreeRADIUS to connect.
