It runs nicely but I want to add LDAPS service on the SAME server.
Is it possible ?

Yes in fact with OpenLDAP you can have ldap, ldaps and ldap TLS with STARTTLS, the latter runs on the standard ldap port.

I have generated

cert.crt
cert.csr
cert.key

as instructed in the FreeBSD howto but when I add the following
lines in slapd.conf file it fails to restart

TLSCACertificateFile  /usr/local/etc/openldap/ssl/cert.crt

You do not need to specify TLSCACertificateFile unless you plan to require connecting clients to use a certificate.

TLSCertificateFile    /usr/local/etc/openldap/ssl/cert.crt
TLSCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/etc/openldap/ssl/cert.key

You only need to edit your rc.conf adding

slapd_flags='-h "ldap:/// ldaps:///"'

if you want to have old style ldaps (ldap with ssl) on port 636. Without any options OpenLDAP supports TLS on port 389. Unfortunately, common programs such as thunderbird does not support TLS for ldap (although it /is/ supported for smtp?!)

in ldap.conf file I have the following

#
# LDAP Defaults
#

# See ldap.conf(5) for details
# This file should be world readable but not world writable.

BASE    dc=esiee,dc=fr
URI     ldap://ldap.esiee.fr ldaps://ldap.esiee.fr

You do not need to edit ldap.conf for the server to start up correctly, this is for the client. In order to use ldapmodify (and family) with TLS you need to add

TLS_CACERT /path/to/your/CA/certificate.cer

Then you can do

$ ldapmodify -ZZ ...

to connect with TLS.
