Miss my days tinkering with LDAP. This looks great, thanks!
Me too. I also believe that LDAP and directory services are overlooked today

#22As someone else who has to do a lot of work with LDAP, thank you!
You might want to consider adding a LICENSE file to the repo. That's the first place I looked before noticing it at the bottom of the readme.

#23Is it possible to view/edit the "cn=config" tree of OpenLDAP to make configuration changes with this? I often do ldapvi -h ldapi:/// -Y EXTERNAL -b 'cn=config' and another tool could be useful.
It would be possible, but I don't have a good ldap server to test on, especially one I can modify config changes. If you'd like to contribute to the repo, adding a test ldap server that can be used for development would enable a lot more features.
May find this worth a whirl, hosted instance: https://www.freeipa.org/page/Demo
Verified the services respond/credentials work [through the UI, my ldapsearch-fu is weak] :)

I am thinking you opened an issue. Thank you! I added one.

If you have a Debian or Ubuntu system available, installing the `slapd` package (OpenLDAP) would be sufficient to get something on localhost or ldapi:///. RH-based systems have openldap* packages.
You don't really have to do much more than that for the purpose of testing this (no creating of accounts, groups, sub-trees, etc).
Perhaps at most go to the stanza/paragraph that defines "olcDbIndex" values, add a new one, and see if a new index file is created in "olcDbDirectory" (often /var/lib/ldap):
