Steven,

This is because you most likely aren't using the proper syntax for Distinguished Name. It needs to be in the format below (insert your company's structure):

CN=ucadmin,OU=Cisco,OU=Service Accounts,DC=mandt,DC=bank,DC=com

The LDAP Directory configuration page will work with your current syntax, but the authentication will not. I would advise changing them both to the above syntax. If you're not sure what your syntax involves; ADSIEdit tool from a Windows machine can give you the proper string that you can just paste in there.

Hope that helps,

Brad
