Unfortunately, the instructions do not follow my experience.

The apt-get install slapd ldap-utils does not prompt for ah administrator password.
The /etc/ldap/slapd.conf is not created, because it is using the /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config approach.  I have not been able to find any help on the web for this approach.

I am looking for just a standard configuration.  The instructions to configure the eXist XML database are at http://exist-db.org/ldap-security.html.

I do not care how I get to a working configuration, but I do need to get one working.  It seems that the OOTB with apt-get install slapd ldap-utils is missing some steps.  Everything else that I have installed through apt-get has been a perfect install.  Why is LDAP still such an arcane art?
