LDAP Replication setup?
I have been following instructions to set up Single-Master Replication.
My problem arises when I attempt to create a replicaton agreement between the two servers after I provide the source and destination details I get an error:
Consumer server unreachable or invalid credentials supplied. Unable to perform subtree duplicaton verification.
I have double checked the user and password credientials and I get responses when I attempt to ping the replica server.
If anyone could give me some pointers on what I am doing wrong it would be much appreciated!

I am using the console.
These are the steps I have followed:
On server B:
Install iPlanet directory server.
Create root node with the same name as the root node that needs to be replicated from server A
Create a new user for replication. The supplier will provide these credentials to update the consumer:
Open directory console and select Directory tab > Config.
Right-click and select New > Other.
Select Person, and click OK.
In the new window, select the option Show Attribute Names.
In the values for cn and sn, enter cn=Replication Manager, cn=config.
Click Add Attribute and select userpassword from the list. Click OK.
Enter a password for the attribute userpassword.
Click Naming Attribute: sn Change. Clear sn and select cn. Click OK.
Click OK to create the user.
Set up the tree for replication.
Select the Configuration tab and expand it. Select the root node to replicate. On the right side:
Select Enable Replica.
In the Replicate Role, select Dedicated Consumer.
Under Common Settings, specify a purge delay of 1 week.
In the field, enter a new supplier DN, enter the cn=Replication Manager, cn=Config and click Add.
Click Save.
On server A:
Select the Configuration tab in the directory console and highlight the Replication node.
In the right pane:
Select the Enable Changelog checkbox.
Click Default.
Set Max Changelog age to 8 weeks.
Click Save to enable replication on this server.
In the Replication tree, highlight the tree to replicate.
Select the Enable Replica checkbox.
Select the Single Master radio button.
Under Common Settings, specify a replica id that is not currently in use by any other server. This has to be unique.
Specify a Purge Delay of 7 days.
Click Save to save replication settings for this database.
Create a replication agreement between server Aand server B. server A will push out data to server Band needs to provide appropriate credentials to EVRPRDEMPS2.
Right-click the database to replicate in the Replication tree. Select New Replication Agreement?
Enter a name for this agreement,
Enter a description
Click Next.
Click Other and in the new window, enter the fully qualified name of Server B. Enter the port number梩his should be 389 unless you have configured your Server B directory server to listen on another port.
In the Connection Information section, enter the user cn=Replication Manager, cn=Config in Bind as and the associated password in Password. Click Next. If Server A is able to bind successfully to Server B, the screen will go to the next step. If there is an error, make sure the information is correct and that server B is configured and running.
This is as far as I got before getting the error message mentioned in the original post
Am I missing something?

I would request you to recheck the replication agreement config done on suplier server. Specially the Replication bind DN value. The log on consumer says the replication bind DN dn="cn=Replication Manager, cn=config" does not exists. Also the DN that is logged in the logs is dn="cn=Replication Manager, cn=config" and by default its dn="cn=Replication Manager,cn=replication, cn=config".
