It doesn't matter who owns it as long as ldap can read it.

My one potential note for your nicely written procedure: to make it 
complete you should add the lines for creating the ldap user and 
granting ownership to ldap for the data path.

/usr/sbin/useradd -s /sbin/nologin ldap
/bin/rm -r /home/ldap
chown -R ldap /usr/local/var/openldap-data
