M5a - Unable to connect to LDAP registry server

I get the following message in both the Tomcat and WAS logs when trying to connect to bluepages.

ERROR ory.service.internal.userregistry.LDAPUserRegistry - Unable to connect to the LDAP registry server. Verify the server application is configured properly and that the LDAP server is reachable

Here is the registry location as specified in my teamserver.properties file:

com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.registryLocation=ldap\://bluepages.ibm.com\:389

I've verified that I can ping the machine by name, and I can telnet to the machine on port 389. I also validated that the user credentials specified in the teamserver.properties are valid. I've tried this configuration from 2 different machines with the same result.

Has anyone else seen this error?

Found the solution... For any IBMers trying to use bluepages to import users, do not provide values for the following attributes in teamserver.properties, leave them blank:

com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.registryUserName=
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.registryPassword=

Providing a value for these two attributes was causing the error. Simply removing the values resolved the problem.
