I had a similar problem which boiled down to not specifying access rights in
slapd.conf.  Try something like this:

# cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should
# be avoid.  See slapd.conf(5) for details.

directory       /var/lib/ldap

sizelimit       200000

defaultaccess   none

access          to attr=userpassword
                by self write
                by * compare

access          to *
                by self write
                by * read

I put the "sizelimit 200000" after having problems retrieving more than a
hundred or so entries from the database.  I've forgotten how the rest of it
works but it sets up access rights fine for my network.
