Note that this is a software use question; you should address it
to the openldap-software mailing list.

You don't need this, BTW.

You need to specify a base for the search, e.g.

ldapsearch -x -b 'o=edspa, c=it'

otherwise you can use the "defaultSearchBase" directive
in slapd.conf:

defaultSearchBase	"o=edspa, c=it"

or, finally, in your database:

suffixAlias	"" "o=edspa, c=it"
suffix   	"o=edspa, c=it"
suffix		""

the last two solutions force an empty "" base search
to resolve in your naming context.
