Setup local LDAP server in mac OSX

Question

I've followed this (https://github.com/IntersectAustralia/acdata/wiki/Setting-up-OpenLDAP) tutorial for set up LDAP server in my local machine.

I've done all these steps

1. Installed Homebrew
2. Installed openldap using brew command, including berkeley db
3. Updated the slapd.conf file
4. Started the server using command "sudo /usr/local/libexec/slapd"

Now how do i know the LDAP server is running?

This question doesn't appear to be about programming. Try apple.stackexchange.com instead. – Vinylidene

From the page you linked to - "Using rake db:populate will build a up the necessary directory structure in your local LDAP instance for development. Then you can do a test query: ldapsearch -D 'cn=admin,dc=localhost' -W -x -b 'o=unsw,dc=localhost'" – Hammond

Use -d3 suffix.

Run sudo /usr/libexec/slapd -d3, it will show you the details.
