You might check these:

set "loglevel 256" in your /etc/openldap/slapd.conf - you will get some 
OpenLDAP logging.

Then restart OpenLDAP, see if the logs appear if you do some LDAP 
operations.
A handy way to clean this log is, while you "debug" your setup:

# >/var/log/ldap.log

(or other location with the log).

Do "getent passwd" and see OpenLDAP logs - you should see some entries? 
Are there any errors?

Do you have /etc/nsswitch.conf set properly? The passwd entry should 
look like below:

passwd: files ldap

What distribution are you running?
Some of them have an easy way for setting LDAP authentication.
