This problem still exists in rawhide and as far as I can tell it is not 
ipa related.  The problem is actually with the fedora directory server.

What I've discovered is that if you run ns-slapd with the -d flag (runs 
the server in the foreground) things work fine.  If you run the server 
without the -d flag, you get the Invalid credentials messages even with 
the correct CN and password.

I've been able to reproduce this in fedora-ds-base-1.1.0.1-3.fc9.x86_64.

If anyone has any ideas let me know...  I did some searching to see if 
there is an existing bug for this and I didn't see one.
