Interesting. In verifying that I'd put the correct capitalization for the bind account name in both the ldapsearch query and the global.conf file, and they were indeed identical, I tried the following in the global.conf file:
instead of:
searchDN => "cn=AdminFoo, DC=vmi, DC=edu",
I put:
searchDN => "AdminFoo\@vmi.edu",
and voila, we have success.
