It means Dovecot's LDAP support is broken currently in 1.0-tests. I've forgotten my test LDAP server's admin password and couldn't figure out how to change it, so I'm waiting for someone else to fix this :) There is a quick and dirty solution to fix this: Your LDAP admin password is either in /etc/[open]ldap/slapd.conf like this: rootpw secret or it is stored in ldap itself; then simply do a slapcat -l my_file.ldif search for the admin entry in the file and reset your password. It should still remain encrypted so you might want to use slappasswd to create a new hash.

Depending on your installation it might be possible that there is a /etc/ldap.secret file with admin password in plain text...
I hope that helps.
