Looks like you haven't run the idsconfig command yet. From the
man page for idsconfig:

idsconfig - prepare an iPlanet Directory Server (iDS) to be
populated with data and serve LDAP clients


It's strongly recommended that you back up your (mostly empty)
directory before running idsconfig, so you can recover from any
configuration mistakes.
