You need to set a loglevel in slapd.conf.

example:

loglevel        256

Then restart slapd.

That will log to syslog.  If you want your own log file, then you need to
edit syslog.conf and define the local4.*.

example:

local4.*                                        /var/log/ldap.log

Then restart syslog.
