** EDIT: I uninstalled and reinstalled the addon and it fixed the problem.
I'm also running into this issue on with an indexer running Splunk 6.2.0 on 64-bit Ubuntu with SA-ldapsearch v 2.0.1. I get the exact same error text.
Here's my scrubbed config:
[default]
server = 10.0.0.1
port = 3268
basedn = DC=ad,DC=department,DC=school,DC=edu
binddn = CN=splunk_user,OU=Admin,OU=ABCDE,DC=ad,DC=department,DC=school,DC=edu
password =
alternatedomain = AD
ssl = 0
There is a Base-64 password in app.conf.
