On openldap, normally i open up the slapd.log, and find what queries have been issued (if any at all) to try and narrow down missing attributes etc.

In short, not easily.  You can turn up the debug level, level 10 will
put ldb into a trace mode that will tell you far more than you ever
wanted to know, but if the connection isn't encrypted, I would suggest
wireshark. 

(We may log some details at lower levels, I've not reviewed the code
specifically).
