Ah, Turns out our previous administrator isn't using ldap for login 
authentication. I've disabled it for now but it hasn't had any effect.

I've reset the root password and managed to login successfully. So no 
issues there. Then reset my user password and logged in, no problems.

Then I tried the upgrade steps again with a fresh copy of the old database

#make upgrade
#/opt/rt4/sbin/rt-setup-database --prompt-for-dba-password --action upgrade
#etc/upgrade/vulnerable-passwords

But the same problem happens when I try and login.
