ldap client cannot contact ldap server

The url in your 1st ldapsearch is mangled.
Use either:
- for local socket
ldapi:///
- for network url
ldap://ldap01.domain.local

I have followed these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openldap-server.html#openldap-auth-config
The ldap server works fine. I can log into it using an ldap account.
However, I configured another Ubuntu 12.04 server as a ldap client for authentication but I cannot contact the server. Here is the error:
On the client:
# ldapsearch -Q -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi://ldap01.domain.local -b cn=config dn ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
The server can receive requests:
On the client:
# telnet ldap01.domain.local 389 Trying 10.3.17.10... Connected to sisn01.domain.local. Escape character is '^]'.
On the client:
# ldapsearch -x -h ldap01.domain.local -b cn=config dn # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <cn=config> with scope subtree # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: dn # # search result search: 2 result: 32 No such object # numResponses: 1
On the server:
# ps aux | grep slapd openldap 3759 0.0 0.2 564820 8228 ? Ssl 08:39 0:00 /usr/sbin/slapd -h ldap:/// ldapi:/// -g openldap -u openldap -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d
I suspect I am missing a configuration parameter either on the server or on the client. I just cannot figure out what. Any help here would be appreciated.
