1. OpenLDAP 2.2.29 is a really ancient release not supported anymore for
quite a while.

2. It is highly recommended *not* to use Berkeley-DB 4.3 with OpenLDAP.

3. OpenSSL 0.9.8a is also outdated and some security fixes have been
added to OpenSSL since then.

4. This seems to be a 3rd-party build.

I'd recommend that you should use a more recent versions of OpenLDAP and
all the required software. The OpenLDAP project itself does not publish
binaries. I don't know which Win32 build is currently recommended
though. Maybe others have specific recommendations.

Ciao, Michael.
