"<" and ">" need to be escaped in DNs:
   'cn=admin,dc=\<test\>,dc=\<ekool\>,dc=\<ee\>'
or 'cn=admin,dc=\3Ctest\3E,dc=\3Cekool\3E,dc=\3Cee\3E'
(Remember to use double \\ if you use a quoting type like ""
which treats \ as an escape character.)

But I don't know how you've managed to create that database and start
slapd with it if you didn't know this already.
