This error is discussed in the FAQ at:
  <http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=648>http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=648

In particular, see the last note in this answer.

With additional logging enabled, slapd(8) will log a
representation of the client request.  From this, one
can produce an LDIF equivalent of the Add request,
and then feed this into ldapadd(1) with the necessary
arguments to do the appropriate Bind operation.
