use OpenLDAP if you need an easy to install lightweight server setup, these days one can just pull a docker images that comes pre-populated.
The open source variant of RedHat Directory Server is 389 Directory Server. Documentation is decent and it supports dual master replication and the EPEL repos have a console and admin console with graphical interface that is rather convenient.
Know your ldapsearch commands first is my tip, so you understand the technology and tools better. In the past I created a chef recipe that setup a fully working 389-DS server in dual master mode, which what I needed and so became my preferred solution. To test locally I use openldap in a docker container.
