Look for your ldap user that you imported to LDAP server
[root@localhost tmp]# grep ldapu /etc/passwd

no result

Now, server on LDAP database

[root@localhost tmp]# getent passwd ldapuser1
ldapuser1:x:1002:1002:ldapuser1:/home/ldapuser1:/bin/bash
[root@localhost tmp]# getent passwd ldapuser2
ldapuser2:x:1003:1003:ldapuser2:/home/ldapuser2:/bin/bash
[root@localhost tmp]#

if you don't get return result, you might have mistake somewhere.
