Symptoms

Executing ldapcompare with user other than cn=orcladmin on user attributes results in:
ldap_compare_s: Insufficient access error

Example:
ldapcompare -h <OID_HOSTNAME> -p <OID_PORT -D 'cn=<USERNAME1>,cn=users,dc=<COMPANY>,dc=com' -w <PASSWORD>   -b "cn=<USERNAME2>,cn=users,dc=<COMPANY>,dc=com" -a uid -v '<USERNAME2>'
