I agree. One would also need to know which version of heimdal or MIT 
Kerberos and which kind of KDC this happens with.

E.g. I did get such errors when using a earlier version of heimdal with a 
KDC of W2K3 Active Directory. In my case this was solved by upgrading 
heimdal. Your mileage may vary.

Yes. Best advice is to test with OpenLDAP's command-line tool ldapsearch.

Ciao, Michael.
