Save slapd.xml above to your current directory

Then run:

svccfg validate slapd.xml

Then import:

svccfg import slapd.xml

Enable service:

svcadm enable slapd

Check the service:

svcs slapd

and

ps auxw | grep slapd

If openldap-server is installed from the Joyent pkgin repository, the slapd executable is in /opt/local/libexec/slapd … the start method should reflect that, no?

If you are running on a Joyent SmartOS instance (from the official repository), you need to remove the 'propval name="duration" type="astring" value="child"' (or just go in with svccfg and remove the property)
line from the above file (in addition to the path change noted above). Otherwise the smf_restarter will continuously try to restart the slapd process, which will fail as the first slapd process already has port 389 in use.
