This should only happen on start-up and can be safely ignored.

This means that nslcd is not able to find the user in LDAP. If you can
find the user with ldapsearch, it probably indicates a configuration
issue.

Your nslcd.conf has two binddn options. If you LDAP server requires
binding before searching you need to configure binddn and bindpw.

You also map the uid attribute to cn but your ldapsearch uses the uid
attribute so you should probably disable that mapping. Also be sure that
the filter you configured in nslcd.conf all map to attributes found in
the LDAP server.

Right before the "user not found" error nslcd should log which search it
tried to perform (in debug mode). This should provide information on why
the search failed.
