    You might want to check your search root, make sure that the DN refer to a
entry found in the LDAP DIT.

    I am not sure, but are you binding as someone?  Partial result usually
means that the server did not manage to get all the result of the processing.
In the case of a search, where a sub-branch is found in another LDAP server,
you can get this kind of exception should the other server be unavailable.

    I would suggest that you should use other toolkit provided to do your
test.  Those command line base ldapsearch, ldapmodify etc.
