It works for me.

LdapImport does an anonymous bind first, to check that the server is up,
before attempting a normal bind.

This looks bad.  Go check your server error log, or turn error logging
on if it''s not on already and check there.  It could be that the bind
is failing on a bad SSL certificate or something, and the LdapImport.log
file doesn''t give you enough information when the server just returns
"internal error".
