I wouldn’t use the openldap packages that come with Debian (or redhat) as they 
are pretty old.  Compiling from source is fine but complicates setup 
considerably.  My recommendation is to use the fortress quickstart packages 
here:

https://symas.com/downloads/

they are free to download and use, released under openldap public license.

For the first go-round of this using slapd.conf is ok.  To get the 
configuration and schema set correctly for fortress you can use the fortress 
quick start (also on symas downloads site) which has distributions for debian, 
redhat and windows.  I have not updated these quickstarts with apache directory 
fortress, but the openldap part of the setup remains the same now as it was 
then.
