Bug still present as of today.

Changing /etc/slapd on the server from:

SLAPD_SERVICES="ldaps:///"

to:

SLAPD_SERVICES="ldap:/// ldaps:///"

and /etc/ldap.conf on the clients from:

uri ldaps://server.my.lan/
ssl on

to:

uri ldap://server.my.lan/
ssl off

'fixed' the problem for me, where 'fixed' means it is no longer authenticating over ssl and validating the server certificate. Not happy.

Is anyone looking at this?
