It looks as though you've got a severe case of not knowing what your base dn
is.  In one place you say you're doing to use dc=my-domain,dc=com, then you
say the rootdn is in dc=harundi,dc=com, and then you try to bind in
o=testnet.de.  You need to pick one, and stay with it.  What's the base dn
of the entries in your ldif file?

Thanks,
Brad
