1. Delete ldap server & ldap group objects for the server and recreate them. Reassociate the ldap group object and ldap server object, and assign a certificate to the ldap server object (typically SSL CertificateDNS by default).
2. If the abend still occurs, reboot the server, unload nldap and then re-extend the schema with NWCONFIG | Directory options | Extend schema. select the following files to re-extend schema with: sys:\system\schema\ldap.sch and sys:\system\schema\ldapupdt.sch. Then reload nldap on the server with unload nldap and load nldap.
