Resolution

Delete the LDAP Server and Group objects in eDirectory for the server that RBPM is pointing to.  Then recreate the objects with "ndsconfig upgrade" from a terminal window on the linux server.  Then restart ldap or ndsd on the server.

If you are running eDirectory on another platform, please contact eDirectory Support for additional assistance.

Cause

The LDAP Server object in eDirectory was missing the required 2.16.840.1.113719.1.148.100.3 extension in the extensionInfo attribute.
