Client reports "Can't Contact LDAP server"

[Stephen Torri <storri@sbcglobal.net>]

The system setup I have is:

RedHat 7.2
Linux kernel 2.4.9-32.5
Kerberos: krb5,libs,devel,workstation,server 1.2.4-1
OpenLDAP: openldap,clients,server 2.0.21-1
OpenSSL: 0.9.6b-8
Cyrus-SASL: 2.1.5-2

Where can I find a web page or documentation that give hints or
solutions to why I would keep getting the message "Can't Contact LDAP
server". I get this message when I try:

ldapsearch -H ldaps:/// -I -b"" -s base -LLL supportedSASLMechanisms.

The user is in the Kerberos database because when I do kinit I get a
valid token. The default principal is torri@TORRI.LINUX.
