If I understand correctly, you should just have to set "ssl yes" in
/etc/ldap.conf.

If you use "authconfig" to configure pam and nss (and you should), you
can simply choose the "Use TLS" option for LDAP, and it should get
everything right for you.

Putting ssl yes in ldap.conf doesn't really do (at least it doesn't seem to)
anything different.  The results were the same.

So just running authconfig and setting values for server, base DN, and
selecting Use TLS, should do this... OK cool a tool...

The moment of truth or at least committal

What happens if it doesn't work?  Single user mode and then turn off all the
settings in authconfig?
