I have followed following article to install/configure OpenLDAP on Ubuntu Server 9.10
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html

There is no slapd.conf in picture here instead running "dpkg-reconfigure slapd" should come up with following Wizard (got this after running through numerous articles on this)

Wizard steps:

  1. omit openldap server configuration? – no
  2. dns domain name? vm.example.org
  3. organization name? myCompany
  4. database backend to use? hdb
  5. do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged? yes
  6. may be the question: move old database? yes
  7. administrator password? the same one as entered during installation
  8. confirm password? see last step
  9. allow LDAPv2 protocol? no
However in my installation wizards asks

Omit OpenLDAP server configuration?    No
 Do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged? No
 Allow LDAPv2 protocol? No
 Creating initial slapd configuration... done.
Starting OpenLDAP: slapd.

Has anyone attempted this before? What I'm missing here? Could someone like to pitch in for some help?

So when I run "ldapsearch -x" it gives me following output

admins@x6:/etc/ldap$ ldapsearch -x
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> (default) with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result
search: 2
result: 32 No such object

# numResponses: 1


where is should give the output like
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base  (default) with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# vm.example.org

dn: dc=vm,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: myCompany
dc: vm

# admin, vm.example.org
dn: cn=admin,dc=vm,dc=example,dc=org

objectClass: simpleSecurityObject
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: admin
description: LDAP administrator

# search result
