Trying to bind a Lion Client (10.7.1) to a Leopard Server (10.5.8). Getting a connection failed to the directory server. (2100) error after they appear to talk for a few seconds!?!
Can Lion bind to Leopard? I haven't read that it can't.

If 10.5 and 10.7 were incompatible, Apple would quickly be eaten by angry customers. (Microsoft still has to keep AD somewhat compatible with MS-DOS...) – user1686 – 2011-08-18T07:32:59.020
ok. that's what I thought. but I can't make 'em play nice! Problem probably on our end then… – Meltemi – 2011-08-18T18:32:49.427
still can't make it work! – Meltemi – 2011-08-25T00:42:23.557
Have you attempted to load a lion open directory schema into the Snow Leopard directory server? It could be as simple as making schema changes. I wouldn't be surprised that Apple isn't providing a neat script to upgrade things, but LDAP is LDAP and a port is a port - so you should be able to whip your Leopard directory into shape with enough time and effort. – bmike – 2011-10-08T14:40:01.413
