Kolab-setup error: ldap.NO_SUCH_OBJECT: {'desc': 'No such object'}

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hello,

I tried to install Kolab 3.0 on a clean install of Centos 6.3
following the instructions at
http://docs.kolab.org/en-US/Kolab_Groupware/3.0/html/Community_Installation_Guide/chap-Community_Installation_Guide-Configuration.html

The last four commands were:
$ wget http://mirror.kolabsys.com/pub/redhat/kolab-3.0/el6/development/i386/kolab-3.0-community-release-6-2.el6.kolab_3.0.noarch.rpm
$ yum localinstall kolab-3.0-community-release-6-2.el6.kolab_3.0.noarch.rpm
$ yum install kolab
$ setup-kolab --fqdn demo.seravo.fi

..which of the last one ends with an error message like this:

Kolab Service password [JouMTyCIn3vtNTi]:

ldap.NO_SUCH_OBJECT: {'desc': 'No such object'}

It does not tell me anything. I'd rather not start debugging the
python code even though I do know python.. Obiviously there is
something not finding something in LDAP.

What should I do to overcome this?
