Hi, I'm a newbie, downloaded a Windows compilation of OpenLDAP v2.4.18 from http://www.userbooster.de/en/download/openldap-for-windows.aspx
Am having some problems trying to get a client to bind to my setup, the error is: do_bind: invalid dn
Hope to receive some pointers. Thanks. : )
My slapd.conf (i basically used the default, only suffix, rootdn and rootpw is changed):
database bdb suffix "dc=click,dc=com" rootdn "cn=wael,dc=click,dc=com" # Cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should # be avoid. See slappasswd(8) and slapd.conf(5) for details. # Use of strong authentication encouraged. rootpw password # The database directory MUST exist prior to running slapd AND # should only be accessible by the slapd and slap tools. # Mode 700 recommended. directory ./data dirtyread searchstack 20 # Indices to maintain index mail pres,eq index objectclass pres index default eq,sub index sn eq,sub,subinitial index telephonenumber index cn

You don't say if/how/what you loaded data into the directory, so the only assumption we can make is that you were trying to connect as Root DN.
conn=0 op=0 do_bind: invalid dn (wael)
"wael" is not a DN. Most likely, you want to bind as: cn=wael,dc=click,dc=com
For example, if you have ldapsearch available on the same host, something like:
ldapsearch -x -D cn=wael,dc=click,dc=com -h localhost -W -b '' namingContexts
(one of the few searches you can currently do that would produce some output).
Now, until you can explain to yourself what the above command does, you may want to spend more time reading than configuring ....
