Here's where your config tells Alfresco what to try to bind against LDAP with:
ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=%s,ou=Users,dc=macif-lfn,dc=com

The "%s" string will be replaced with what you use to login with.

I'm noticing that you have your ou=Users but your LDIF file has ou=People.

dn: uid=admin,ou=people,dc=macif-lfn,dc=com
dn: cn=Charlton Heston,ou=people,dc=macif-lfn,dc=com
dn: cn=Roddy McDowall,ou=people,dc=macif-lfn,dc=com

Hi Jeff…

thanks for noticing the error in my file.
But even after i corrected it to ou=people in my changes.properties and restarted the server, i was not able to login

Is there any configuration issue?

Users are getting recognised by the Alfresco system allright as proved by the logs:-
