I just installed ad lds on my dev machine and am quite sure of what I specified as dn. I've never used ad lds before.

However, I cannot connect to it used ADSI Edit.

The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

dsdbutil "list instances" quit lists my instance with the colorful name "instance1".

If I force localhost (LDAP://localhost:389/cn=dev,dn=xxx,dn=xx) I instead get the error:

No superior reference has been configured for the directory service. The directory service is therefore unable to issue referrals to objects outside this forest.

Is there a way to find out which dn I specified? or in any other way to connect to my instance?

In Adsiedit Connection Settings, under Connection Point, select "Configuration" well-known naming context from the drop down, with the Computer as "localhost:389"

Read the CN=Partitions folder for the "directory partition name" that you made - maybe you made a typo? Copy that, use it in a new connection in ADSI edit as the connection point, again with "localhost:389"
