I have tied in a few things such as openid-ldap and openfire to use my ldap backend for authentication. I am wondering if it is possible to collect error logs for any invalid attempt that a user tries with these various applications. Rather than handling it at the application level, can I get openldap to log these events? If so, can someone point me to a link that explains it?
OpenLDAP logs to local4, thus you may configure syslog to print slapd logs to a particular logfile. Next set a decent loglevel, stats or acl, grep slapd.log for err=49

Thanks for this, it makes sense. Where do I put the loglevel paramter? I don't have a slapd.conf, but I do have /etc/ldap.conf -- but putting it in there doesn't seem to have any effect.

You have to configure syslog.conf file, most of the times is located in /etc
There, you have to add line something like that (just an example):
local4.* -/var/log/my_ldap_erros.log
Then reload syslog process
