Sorry for not responding sooner.

I do not see this message in logs of systems I manage. I only get this
if basedn is not known to the LDAP server. On normal searches that do
not return any responses I get just that: a success message with 0
returned entries.

Is this happening on a particular LDAP server? 

Thanks,
