I haven't tried the public servers for a long time but they should work without
any problem, I just don't have anyone to search for ;-)
Why don't you just try a
# ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope base
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: namingContexts
#

#
dn:
namingContexts: dc=binarymagi,dc=com
# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

If so then try a:
ldapsearch -x -D 'cn=manager,dc=binarymagi,dc=com' -w secret

Correct the above in acordance with your slapd.conf and you should see the
contents of your ldap directory.

Do you?

Before we move on, I have a couple of questions that I should have probably
asked in the begining:

  Are you using ldap for authetication for horde and family?
  Are you authenticating in horde or an application?
  Are you able to login to horde?

Thanks,

ed
