Thank you Benjamin for your prompt response, I ve gone through this article you suggested too however the problem here is for entering any command like ldapadd it prompts for entering LDAP password but since dpkg-reconfigure slapd has not asked me to configure any password yet I have no clue what to enter. Do you know of a workaround here? may be then I could proceed a little :(
