I use ldap for authentication - posixAccount/sambaSamAccount - SSO
There's no way for me to guess what the problem you are having except
that you must bind as an authenticated user.
if slappasswd -s password = {SSHA}tn6Wk4lNQq4brNGwIXkg/bf+GvaG+1OI
If you put in
rootdn "cn=manager,dc=TUDelft,dc=NL"
# watch out for spaces
# and then
rootpw {SSHA}tn6Wk4lNQq4brNGwIXkg/bf+GvaG+1OI
in slapd.conf
and then start ldap service
then ldapadd -x -h localhost -D 'cn=manager,dc=TUDelft,dc=NL' -W -f
ldiffile-to-import.ldif
# the password to enter is 'password' when it asks
it should work.
