An incorrect user base DN or group base DN was provided

If the user base DN (-u option) or the group base DN (-g option) is not correct, the nbatd logs contain the following error:

CAuthLDAP::validatePrpl - ldap_search_s() error = 10, 
errmsg = Referral,9:debugmsgs,1 CAuthLDAP::validatePrpl-ldap_search_s() 
error = 34, errmsg = Invalid DN syntax,9:debugmsgs,1

For example, run the following command:

ldapsearch -H ldap://example.veritas.com:389 -D 
"CN=Test User,OU=VRTSUsers,DC=VRTS,DC=com" -w ****** 
-b "OU=VRTSUsers,DC=VRTS,DC=con" "(&(cn=test user)(objectClass=user))"

ldapsearch -H ldap://example.veritas.com:389 -D 
"CN=Test User,OU=VRTSUsers,DC=VRTS,DC=com" -w ****** 
-b "VRTS" "(&(cn=test user)(objectClass=user))"
