Jarek Gawor's excellent LDAP Browser/Editor v2.8.2 - though last updated in 2001, still one of the best! Works perfectly with current java version 5 and 6.
All previous download links seem to be broken, so here's a refresh for all who prefer superfast and minimalistic tools like me.

LDAP Browser/Editor 2.8.2 Release Notes, April 25th, 2001
The LDAP Browser/Editor 2.8.2 is a maintenance release. It contains a number of bug fixes and various improvements described below. It also contains a couple of new features. For a complete list of changes see the changes.txt file included with the distribution.
New Features/Improvements:
1. Multiple windows: Multiple windows/connections can be opened at the same time without starting a separate JVM for each connection. 2. Improved UTF8 support for various functions and operations. 3. For authenticated connections, the password does not need to be stored in the configuration file anymore. The Browser will prompt the user for the password when needed. 4. Improved configuration. Generic and static Browser settings are now pulled and stored in a separate configuration file. See What is lbe.properties file? question for details. 5. PKCS12 support: The CA certificates, and client certificates can now be loaded from the PKCS12 files. The files must have .p12 extension to be loaded in the PKCS12 format. This functionality relies on the JSSE and its support for PKCS12 standard. 6. Partial internationalization: This is an initial effort to internationalize the entire code and translate it into a couple of languages. Right now only a small portion of the code is internationalized and only Polish translation is provided.
Bug Fixes:
1. Backslash characters ('\') were not properly escaped in the session files. 2. UTF8 encoded distinguished names were incorrectly encoded/decoded in ldap urls.
Current limitations/bugs:
* LDIF changetypes are not supported. * No schema integration. * No VLV/Paged results support. * Fetch DN only works with ldap v3 servers. * Various window refresh problems - due to bugs in JVM.
Other Notes:
If running the Browser with JVM 1.3 you might encounter some problems with the JNDI library. JVM 1.3 includes an older version of the JNDI library then the version that is distributed with the Browser. 1.3 will load the older version instead of the Browser version. To force the Browser to load its version of the JNDI library using the 'lbe' script pass 'fix13' as the first parameter to the script. Examples: on Windows type: lbe.bat fix13 on Unix/Linux type: lbe.sh fix13.
No changes needed, just open lbe.jar with your favourite java instance. Works for me on macOS, at least:
$ java -version openjdk version "11.0.9" 2020-10-20 OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.9+11) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.9+11, mixed mode)

Great, just what I was looking for. Simple and effective. Important for me is the fact that it works instantly from the zip because an installer leaves me with Windows yapping about administrator rights.
I've been using this for years - but I've lost the "Add Entry" menu. It used to give me a list of item types that can be added to the directory, but now it's blank. Any idea what I've done wrong?
Alas there is at least one bad bug in this tool, specific to eDirectory that has two affects.
If you edit an object and add an attribute, it may re-write the values in sasLoginConfigurationKey (actually all the sasLoginConfiguration* attributes) which contain the challenge/response questions, Secret Store data, and Simple Password. This WILL corrupt them.
This will manifest with strange errors trying to use any of this encrypted data. I forget the error code we saw in User App, but I think it might have been a 618 DS error on the attributes when you try to read or set the Challenge Response questions.
It also looks like the DirXML-EntitlementRef if present will experience a similar process, in that it will rewrite them, and thus fire your Entitlements processing rules., which is not as bad as the corruption, but annoying.
I just downloaded the ZIP from different browsers and ISPs just to make sure and I am unable to unzip it nor in Windows nor in Linux. Message is always the same: root@debian:~# unzip -l Gawor_ldapbrowser_282.zip Archive: Gawor_ldapbrowser_282.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of Gawor_ldapbrowser_282.zip or Gawor_ldapbrowser_282.zip.zip, and cannot find Gawor_ldapbrowser_282.zip .ZIP, period.
So I was on a Windows server with no ZIPPer beyond the built in. The default Windows compressed folders would not open it. Installed 7Zip and it took two passes to extract it (Typical of tar.gz compression).
linux:/tmp # tar -tvzf Gawor_ldapbrowser_282.zip gzip: stdin has more than one entry--rest ignored tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
