Being an Open-Xchange user, I would suggest the following:

Install the open-xchange.schema file in /etc/openldap/schemas
Install the access-rights file in /etc/openldap as
open-xchange-rights.conf or something to that effect.  Don't actually
edit the /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file itself, that should be left to
the admin.  The access rights bits can be included by the admin with a
simple "include open-xchange-access.conf" statement.
