Hi everyone,
I need to install Openldap server and client on two different FreeBSD machines.
I've installed 'something' for both but don;t know whether it is working or not. The ldapsearch command as specified below gives the following output:

ldapsearch -W -H ldap://localhost/ -D cn=Manager,dc=dc=eggs,dc=basket,dc=com -b 'dc=dc=eggs,dc=basket,dc=com' '(objectclass=*)'

Enter LDAP Password:
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=dc=eggs,dc=basket,dc=com> with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# eggs.basket.com
dn: dc=eggs,dc=basket,dc=com
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: dc=eggs,dc=basket,dc=com
dc: eggs

# Manager, eggs.basket.com
dn: cn=Manager,dc=eggs,dc=basket,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: Manager

# user1,eggs.basket.com
dn: uid=user1,dc=eggs,dc=basket,dc=com
cn: user1
uid: user1
givenName: user
sn: nobody
mail: user@abc.com
objectClass: inetOrgPerson

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 4
# numEntries: 3

Can anyone help me to install this server and client and make them talk to each other?

Thanks...

That indicates that it's working. ldapsearch is able to get an answer.

I haven't done it on FreeBSD. It's probably similar to other systems, though I'd guess the configuration files are in /usr/local/etc rather than /etc.

I have a little page on LDAP--written for CentOS, you still might (or might not) find it useful.
