The LDAP Browser stores its configuration information in the file .ldapbrowser.xml in the user's home directory. The contents of this file should not be edited directly.

If the LDAP Browser encounters startup errors, one possible cause is that this file has been hand-edited incorrectly or otherwise corrupted. You can attempt to fix the problem by removing or renaming the file and restarting the LDAP Browser.
