Workgroup Manager: "error -14130" or "error -14136" Message When Using LDAP

Symptom

You see one of these alert messages when attempting to connect to an LDAP server, or a similar message:

"error -14130 on line 369 of UserBasicPlugin.mm"
"error -14136 of line 91 of UserVolumePlugin.mm"

Solution

Using the Directory Access application, map the User and Group Types and Attributes to the proper Attributes on the LDAP server. Figure 1 shows a proper mapping for a user's "UniqueID" mapped to the "uidNumber" of Open Directory server. The mapped value depends on the version of LDAP server. Apple's Open Directory server is based on and uses OpenLDAP.
