I've had good luck authenticating against ADS like this:
ldapsearch -x -W -D "user@domain"
where user is a principal name and domain is whatever your domain is,
but might not be what you expect. Check out your ADSI settings to
see what yours is.
I can't say exactly why this works, as obviously that isn't a DN, but it
does seem to work.

Subject: Authenticating against Active Directory
Hello,
I'm new to LDAP, so please forgive the simplicity of
this problem, but I am trying to do LDAP queries using
ldapsearch against another server. If I do this.
ldapsearch -h mydomain.theirdomain.com -x -v -b
'dc=mydomain,dc=theirdomain,dc=com' '(objectclass=*)'
It seems I get the root directory of the schema, which
is progress, but I need to get user information, so I
tried this.
ldapsearch -h mydomain.theirdomain.com -x -v -b
'CN=Guests,CN=Builtin,dc=mydomain,dc=theirdomain,dc=com'
'(objectclass=*)'
but I get no results. I probably have to Authenticate
against the server, but I've tried a number of
different methods (e.g. -W & -U Administrator &
others) to no avail. How do I authenticate against the
server?
Thanks,
Ryan
