This isn't specific to OpenLDAP but it might be helpful http://www.onlamp.

Overall LDAP is one of those things that is really simple at its core but 
is severely hurt by its lineage in X.500 and the unfortunate use of 
terminology that resulted from that. There are also several books out that 
cover LDAP and associated protocols. Netscape also should have a lot of 
LDAP information available and since Netscape Directory Server and 
OpenLDAP both developed from the University of Michigan LDAP server the 
concepts are very similar. This is especially true for NS Directory server 
prior to version 3 so many of the older articles in this area can be 
applicable.  I used to do a lot of work with LDAP including OpenLDAP and 
people always seem to have a much more difficult time with it then the 
technology really warrants.
