Initialized my first ldap but can't login

I just setup an iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 on my Solaris 9 box. I ran
through the setup utility and the idsconfig.
I initialized my first client with the ldapclient command and it created
the files in /var/ldap on the client machine. I'm trying to have the
client talk to my ldap server to verify it's working.

When I run this from the client I get an error

client# ldaplist groups
ldaplist: Object not found (Session error no available conn.
)

Does that mean it's not communicating with the server?
What's a good test command to run using ldaplist from the client?

I created a new user and adding the posix account and shadow account.
The user is called user10 on the ldap server. I'm not able to see this
user from the client nor log in as this user from the client.

client# ldaplist passwd user10
ldaplist: Object not found (Session error no available conn.

client# ssh -l user10 server
user10@server's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
user10@server's password:

Nor from the server

server# ssh -l user10 server
user10@server's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
user10@server's password:

In fact ldapsearch from the server doesn't show user10 but I do see
user10 in the Directory Console GUI.

server# ldapsearch -b "ou=people,dc=server,dc=llnl,dc=gov" -L
"uid=user10" > user_template.ldif
ldap_search: No such object
server#

I can do an ldapclient list from the client and it reads the files in
/var/ldap but can't do ldaplists as shown above or login as user10.

Any tips from the iPlanet/Sun One guru's would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
