Fixing the Open Directory via macOS terminal.

sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist
sudo /usr/libexec/slapd -Tt
sudo db_recover -cv -h /var/db/openldap/openldap-data/
sudo db_recover -cv -h /var/db/openldap/authdata/
sudo /usr/libexec/slapd -Tt
sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist

If this sequence of commands doesn’t fix it, then you will need to restore the LDAP databases from backup, which can generally be done with the following command:

sudo slapconfig -restoredb /private/var/backups/ServerBackup_OpenDirectoryMaster.sparseimage
