Please help me....

That guide is for MIGRATION to LDAP...and if you DID follow it, you obviously have omitted several steps, since what you've posted doesn't match that guide.
If you read/understood the guide, you'd see you were missing steps. And did you try to look up installation (not migration) guides for RHEL6?

Since you're using RHEL, you can call Red Hat support, since you're paying for RHEL, right??? And did you try their knowledgebase?
https://access.redhat.com/site/docum...y_Servers.html

...read ANY of the very simple how-to guides you can easily find?

Again, you don't have things configured correctly. Read the instructions and follow them.
