Kari,

Something similar had happened to me a few months ago.
 My guess is that the LDAP database got corrupted
because the service didn't shutdown properly.  That's
what had happened to me.

I'm not able to look up the exact steps I followed
right now, but generally I:
* stopped the LDAP service
* deleted the current LDAP database
* imported into LDAP the most recent backup of that
database
* started the LDAP service

And then everyone was able to log in okay.

I hope this helps!
