Please don't blaim lwat, when there might be something wrong with your
ldap setup. I would guess that it's all your fault.

There is no tool in lwat to add an ldif. Someone might write one if
there are requests (as in wishlist bugs against lwat in Debian BTS). It
all depends on the time availible, and if it's paid work or not. but if
the ldiff is working it should be no problem adding it using the
command-line tool ldapadd (if slapd is running, and is healty), or with
slapadd (if slapd is not running and the ldif holds all necesarry
information, or will fit together with the existing information in the
ldap db). But the configuration file for ldap needs to be sane.

Those are all warnings, but should not maked slapd fail.

How did you search for users ?

Looks like you're doing things wrong then. But SO far I have not seen
you use lwat for anything.
Make sure your configuration is healthy, and is working.
try poining your browser to https://<server>/lwat/setup.php and see if
there is anything sane information on that page..

They should have been if you did things correctly.

Strange.

It looks like there is a configuration error for your ldap, but it's
hard to say.
OK, lets explain how the priority is done when developing lwat:
1) First priority is always paying custommers, but we try to put aside
time to work on Free Software like lwat, slbackup(-php), other debian
and debian-edu stuff.
2) Our own (or our paying custommers) wishlist bugs.
3) Security bugs.
4) Functionality bugs reported through Debian BTS
5) Wishlist bugs reported through Debian BTS
6) Functionality bugs reported through DebianEdu/Skolelinux bugzilla
We might take a note of good wishlist bugs from DebianEdu/Skolelinux,
but we tend to forget about them.
So if you really like to improve lwat, or waiting for the "killer
feature", you should contact us with an offer to pay for the development
of lwat.
