Hi Maurizio,

I would use the "
uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot" instead of "cn=Directory Manager".

Here's the copy and pasted information from the Red Hat Directory Server Admin Guide.

There are important differences between the Directory Administrator and the Directory Manager:
    * The administrator cannot create top level entries for a new suffix through an add operation. either adding an entry in the Directory Server Console or using ldapadd, a tool provided with OpenLDAP. Only the Directory Manager can add top-level entries by default. To allow other users to add top-level entries, create entries with the appropriate access control statements in an LDIF file, and perform an import or database initialization procedure using that LDIF file.
    * Password policies do apply to the administrator, but you can set a user-specific password policy for the administrator.
    * Size, time, and lookthrough limits apply to the administrator, but you can set different resource limits for this user.

For more detail, follow below URL
