Installation of openldap in linux is well documented around the world. Just use your favorite search engine to find a tutorial for your specific linux distribution. The mentioned doc in howtoforge may be a little bit old. Nowadays there is normally no slapd.conf file but the configuration is stored in ldap itself. You have to do the basic configuration with ldapadd/ldapmodify commands and *.ldif files. Possibly you may want to read here.

Installation of an ldap server should not be done quick without thinking because it is relevant to your system's security!

As a graphical management tool, I am using ldap-account-manager (LAM), which is web-based management.
