Also can you enable logging , the local4.* facility can be used to get ldap logs. ( I am not exactly sure if this is true for ubuntu also ) Add "local4.* /var/log/ldap.log in your rsyslog or syslog" configuration and restart rsyslog/syslog and restart slapd service, if slapd fails, the errors would be thrown in /var/log/ldap.log file Regards Niranjan
