Answer 1

You probably did not configure or create the suffix entry. You need to do that, go to the slapd.conf and check that you have defined suffix like:

suffix "dc=example,dc=com"

Then you need to (re)start your server, and add that entry to the LDAP database using ldapadd. So the LDIF file to accomplish that would be (example.ldif):

dn: dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: domain
objectclass: top
dc: example

And the command to add it to the database would be something like:

ldapadd -x -D "<rootdn>" -W -f example.ldif

Of course, your suffix can be anything you like (e.g. o=company,c=us), but you need to change the LDIF file accordingly.
