The NULL ciphertext message can be ignored. It has nothing to do with he LDAP query failing.

If you could successfully query the LDAP directory from some other application or command line tool, what would that query look like? One of the tools I use to troubleshoot LDAP queries is the LDAPSEARCH command. Here's an example:

ldapsearch -H ldap://10.70.0.1:389 -x -b cn=users,dc=mydomain,dc=com -D administrator@mydomain.com -w [password] [search criteria ex. cn=bob]

Do a quick search online and/or read the LDAPSEARCH MAN page for more information on its use. Ultimately your APM LDAP query will work more or less the same as the search criteria in this command.
