This JLDAP snippet appears okay except that the appropriate bind dn is 
probably not "Manager". You should probably start at the beginning:

http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/intro.html#What%20is%20LDAP

and note that a distinguished name is formatted similar to the example 
'uid=babs,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com'.
