What are the entries in following files:

nsswitch.conf
ldap.conf
libnssldap.conf
libpamldap.conf

This is because root exists in /etc/passwd file but my-name is in LDAP
database. You need to add following line in your slapd.conf in
permission section to be able to search anonymously:

access to * by * read

Also are you able to get the full user list by issuing this:

# getent passwd
