openldap access configuration



I've installed Openldap 2.1.12 on Red Hat 8.0 and i'm facing configuration problems.
My slapd demon seems to run well but when i want to access my directory using LDAP Browser/editor v2.8.1 (using java) in order to read and administer the directory, I can connect but i can't read or write :


error message "Failed to read entry dc=...."

I'm binding as the manager using the password stored in the slapd.conf file.

Here is my configuration file that's in /usr/local/etc/openldap/

/# $OpenLDAP: pkg/ldap/servers/slapd/slapd.conf,v 1.23.2.5 2002/11/26 18:26:01 kurt Exp $

# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
# This file should NOT be world readable.

include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema


# Define global ACLs to disable default read access.

# Do not enable referrals until AFTER you have a working directory
# service AND an understanding of referrals.
#referral    ldap://root.openldap.org

Is there something wrong with the access control list or what else could it be?
