Hello Tim,
the "password" you supply won't work, as it is not encoded in base64.
Try to generate a password hash + base64-enc with "slappasswd" and set this string as your password hash for rootpw. http://linux.die.net/man/8/slappasswd
Benjamin,
There is no requirement that the password value for the rootpw entry in slapd.conf be SSHA hashed or Base 64 encoded.
I.e.,
rootpw secret
is perfectly valid.
Also, an LDIF file with
userPassword: secret
is also perfectly valid, as either slapadd or slapd (via ldapadd) will take care of encoding it to Base64.
