Note that unless this is a tets system the IdP's browser-facing pages
probably should be available on the standard https port (443).
You're of course free to runit on any port you want, but then make
sure you use another port for back-channel (SOAP) requests (as the
documentation mentions running that on 8443 by default).

Turn up logging at the IdP for the LDAP authentiaction phase, e.g. by
adding this line to your logging.xml:

  <logger name="edu.vt.middleware.ldap.jaas.JaasAuthenticator" level="DEBUG" />

Or better yet, check your LDAP DSA's log file which is where the
error must have originated, so it is the obvious place to look.
