You have to configure your Root suffix in the slapd.conf and the "Directory
Manager" with its Password.

1st step after installation and configuration is that you add the root entry
and the "Directory Manager" Objekt to the ldap. Look in the openldap
administration guide chapter 7.1
(http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin21/guide.html#Creating%20a%20database%20over%20LDAP)
 how to do this.

The "Directory Manager" has look like:


        dn: cn=dirmgr, dc=wynnon, dc=com
        objectClass: organizationalRole
        cn: dirmgr
        description: Directory Manager
