After install the openldap (slapd) from Debian package repository

(cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com) in could not be found either when
performing ldapsearch or viewing the structure of the organisation in
phpldapadmin / Apache directory studio.
Quoting from the changelog:
openldap (2.4.51+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium
[...]
* Remove the redundant cn=admin,<suffix> entry from the default DIT for new
installs. For new installs going forward, the root credentials will be
stored in olcRootDN/olcRootPW only. (Closes: #821331)
This change was done to address the issue where the admin's password was
stored in two places (olcRootPW and the entry's userPassword), which
occasionally caused confusion if only one of the two was changed.
Hope this helps.
