I would suggest that you first use the parameters that you
are defining in your configuration file in a manual
ldapsearch.  They could very a bit depending on which ldap
server you are using but something like the following
should work based on what you have below.

# ldapsearch -H ldap://ucmail.uc.edu -x -z 0 -LLL -b
'dc=uc,dc=edu' '(objectclass=person)'

or

# ldapsearch -h ucmail.uc.edu -x -b 'dc=uc,dc=edu'
'(objectclass=person)'

When working on the server in question

# ldapsearch -H ldap://localhost -b 'dc=uc,dc=edu'
'(objectclass=person)'

may work.

If your BASE and URI are defined in ldap.conf a simple

# ldapsearch

may even work:-)

I would suggest that once you can get what you want manually
you just use the same parameters in your conf file.  YMMV
and hopefully someone else will have a better solution.

Good luck,
