Try to add the ldif into the database from the regular shell command
line . Input the root DN (cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com) password when
prompted and check. Also , do you have the correct password (shared
secret) in the slapd.conf. IMO you should try to use openLDAP compiled
from the source code rather than using the precompiled version
distributed through ubuntu repository
