ldap authentication, mod_ldap

Hello

i can connect to my novel network using:
ndslogin -t COMPANY -h ldap.company.com mylogin.subdept.dept

how can i do the same (authenticate) using ldap tools ?
I tried:
ldapsearch -h ldap.company.com "cn=mylogin" -x
i also tried ldappasswd:
ldapsearch -Z -n -v -x -a mypass -h ldap.company.com mylogin
but i receive:
ldap_initialize( ldap://ldap.agora.pl )

i wanted to test ldap tools before making apache mod_ldap usage.

Could anybody help ?

Thanx
