Thank you Andrew and Quanah. I appreciate your help.
I manually added "olcModuleLoad: {1}sssvlv.la" to the /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/cn=module{0}.ldif file. For now, it did not do anything. I will re-read the manuals and resume.
It is almost 1 AM in my timezone. To be continued tomorrow.

Thank you for your answer. I spent quite a lot of time reading various man pages including the one for slaps.conf(5), of course. As I mentioned, there is no slapd-config on my system. [How] is it possible that system is configured cn=config without it?
slapd-config is a manual page, not an executable.
man slapd-config Describes the LDAP/LDIF configuration method man slapd.conf Describes the flat text-file configuration methodBoth methods configure the same things, so those pages are quite similar. The keywords / attribute names are different though, so make sure you read the right one for the method you are using.
Is there a way to determine whether slapd.conf is used and where the daemon is trying to find it, short of doing a system call trace?
Use 'ps ax | grep slap' to see whether there are any command-line options applied to the slapd process. If there are, look them up in 'man slapd' taking particular note of the -f and -F options. If those options are not present then the daemon will use the default config database (see slapd-config above) or, failing that, will use the default config file (see slapd.conf above).
Each of those manual pages starts with a note of exactly where the default database or config file will be found on your system.
Also, is there a command to list loadable modules in use?
'lsof -p <slapd PID>' perhaps :-)
Modules can be backends or overlays. I cannot think of a single command that finds all loaded slapd modules. You can find what backends and overlays are available/active by browsing under cn=monitor. Similarly you could search under cn=config to find what the config says *should* be loaded.
