Starting with Ubuntu Karmic (9.10), the slapd package changed from creating a typical LDAP administrator account (i.e., username and password) to using LDAPI and SASL EXTERNAL which automatically provides LDAP administrator access via the system root account. As root, run your LDAP utilities with "-Y external -H "ldapi:///" instead of "-x", "-D", and "-W" where appropriate. For example, to search your LDAP directory:
ldapsearch -Y external -H "ldapi:///" -b dc=domain,dc=com
or stick the following in root's ~/.ldaprc:
SASL_MECH EXTERNAL URI ldapi:///
