try doing queries as the root-dn first using ldapsearch BEFORE doing
anything fancy. if you can't connect and query your LDAP server using the
very basic stuff, you're already frying in your own fat.
for example, here's a trivial config..
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf:
..
database ldbm
suffix "dc=fubar,dc=org"
rootdn "cn=root,dc=fubar,dc=org"
..
then run ldapsearch like so..
ldapsearch -D "cn=root,dc=fubar,dc=org" -x -W -h 127.0.0.1 "uid=jijo"
which should give you something like a finger(1) (assuming you've imported
your data in RFC2307 compliant format)
If you can't get the above to work.. you're seriously screwed. If you
can.. on to the next step!! you can get nss_ldap to work fairly easily
(assuming you can connect and query), see the /etc/ldap.conf file for
nss_ldap
