I too have been having a terrible time install openLDAP - first on a
brand new 8.04 LTS server and now on another one (it's a development
box).

I do

sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils

then

sudo dpkg-reconfigure slapd

Saying "No" to Omit OpenLDAP server configuration? (which is confusing -
why not Continue openLDAP server configuration?  then have the answer
default to "Yes")

DNS Domain Name as

imparisystems.local

Organization name as (What is this?  What should it be?)

admin

Password / twice (my supersecret password)

Database backend to use HDB

Do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged? No

Move old database?  Yes

Allow LDAPv2 protocol? No

The configuration then comes back with

Stopping OpenLDAP: slapd.
  Moving old database directory to /var/backups:
  - directory unknown... done.
  Creating initial slapd configuration... done.
  Creating initial LDAP directory... done.
Reloading AppArmor profiles : done.
Starting OpenLDAP: slapd.

And then the  first step is to configure your LDAP by typing

ldapsearch -xLLL -b cn=config -D cn=admin,cn=config -W olcDatabase={1}hdb
Enter LDAP Password: 

And everytime I get

ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)




ldapsearch -xLLL -b cn=config -D cn=admin,cn=config -W
olcDatabase={1}hdb
