After upgrading from OpenLDAP 2.4.23 to 2.4.36, I can no longer add a user:

Check Your config for RootPW and whether the hash algorithm used is still supported by Your build of OpenLDAP.

Had a similar problem on an old server because --enable-crypt was not set when building OpenLDAP 2.4.36.

You can check that by using slappasswd to create a String like the one used in Your config:

# /usr/local/sbin/slappasswd -s secret -h '{crypt}' Password generation failed for scheme {crypt}: scheme not recognized
