Have you tested by performing a simple bind via the ldapsearch command
line tool.

ldapsearch -H ldap://localhost -D"{bind dn}" -w {password} -b"{base}
{filter}

If that works, then your problem isn't with OpenLDAP.

Have you checked the OpenLDAP log?  Perhaps your trying to make a v2
bind on a server that denies v2?
