That DN is not in the LDIF data that you posted.
It might be set as the rootDN for the database, but we need to see the
OpenLDAP configuration to know whether it is right (either the
slapd.conf file or an LDIF dump of everything under cn=config
depending on which config system you are using).

Note that you must send the plain-text password. The SSHA hash is only
used in server config or in LDAP entries.

If you want to set the password to 'secret' then you should only have
one colon:

userPassword: secret

Using :: means that the data is Base-64 encoded.

Please post the OpenLDAP configuration so that we can check the DNs
and passwords.

Please also reload the data with the correct userPassword values and try:

     env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "uid=nagios,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com");
     env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "secret");

VERY IMPORTANT: please post the actual data and the real passwords
that you are using to test with. If they are really secret, then
change them to something trivial BEFORE doing the tests.
