Set Splunk LDAP Bind PW in CLI

I've tried setting the ldap bind password in authentication.conf and restarting Splunk, creating my hashes with the splunk hash-passwd 'pw', creating hashes with other linux commands. Nothing I do lets me set the password with the CLI or in the .conf (I'm trying to not use the Web. Trying to automate the step essentially). When I set the password in the Web there are no issues and I'm connected to my domain. Any ideas?

This can be closed. I had a typo in my [ldap_strategy] stanza. Ouch.
