LDAP correct binding?

Question

To start, I have successfully bound a new "user" into this leaf that has been created. The problem comes when I try to log in as that user onto that leaf. I can login, with only the username, if I add the password, it gives me a javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 32 - No Such Object]. I must not be correctly binding the password to the user. How would I do this?
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"url");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL, "ssl");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,  "uid=admin,ou=company,dc=company,dc=net");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "password");
   try{
            DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);   <-------------connects with my username and password
            // Create attributes to be associated with the object
         BasicAttributes attrs = new BasicAttributes(true);
            attrs.put("cn","username")
            attrs.put("userPassword","No12we3**"
         attrs.put("ou", "people");
         attrs.put("dc", "company");
            attrs.put("dc", "net");
         // Perform bind
            ctx.bind("cn=Name,ou=people,dc=company,dc=net",attrs);
     }....So then when I replace my username and password with the new guys, it doesn't work. And it does work when I don't use a password for him...
Thanks

Answer 1

It looks like you have a little bit of inconsistency between the user name and the attributes in the entry.
ctx.bind("cn=Name,ou=people,dc=company,dc=net",attrs);
but
attrs.put("cn","username");
Make sure you've changed the Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL to "cn=Name,ou=people,dc=company,dc=net"
Beside, i am not sure that the entry was created properly. There is no objectclass attribute, thus it is not sure that you have provided all of the required attributes.
For a Person (or OrganizationalPerson or InetOrgPerson), sn is also mandatory.
