I have followed following article to install/configure OpenLDAP on Ubuntu
Server 9.10
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html

There is no slapd.conf in picture here instead running "dpkg-reconfigure
slapd" should come up with following Wizard (got this after running through
numerous articles on this)

*Wizard steps:*

   1. *omit openldap server configuration? – no*
   2. *dns domain name? vm.example.org*
   3. *organization name? myCompany*
   4. *database backend to use? hdb*
   5. *do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged? yes*
   6. *may be the question: move old database? yes*
   7. *administrator password? the same one as entered during installation*
   8. *confirm password? see last step*
   9. *allow LDAPv2 protocol? no*

However in my installation wizards asks
*
Omit OpenLDAP server configuration?    No
 Do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged? No
 Allow LDAPv2 protocol? No
 Creating initial slapd configuration... done.
Starting OpenLDAP: slapd.

*Has anyone attempted this before? What I'm missing here? Could someone like
to pitch in for some help?

So when I run "ldapsearch -x" it gives me following output

adm...@x6:/etc/ldap$ ldapsearch -x
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> (default) with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result
search: 2
result: 32 No such object

# numResponses: 1


where is should give the output like

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base  (default) with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# vm.example.org
dn: dc=vm,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: myCompany
dc: vm

# admin, vm.example.org
dn: cn=admin,dc=vm,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: simpleSecurityObject
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: admin
description: LDAP administrator

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 3
