Thanks for the reply. I believe that NSS is using LDAP. Here are my (3) config files:

/etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd:     files ldap
shadow:     files ldap
group:      files ldap
hosts:      files dns
bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
ethers:     files
netmasks:   files
networks:   files
protocols:  files ldap
rpc:        files
services:   files ldap
netgroup:   files ldap
publickey:  nisplus
automount:  files ldap
aliases:    files nisplus

/etc/ldap.conf:
host myldapserver
base dc=my,dc=ldap,dc=dir,dc=gov
pam_password md5
ssl start_tls
tls_cert /usr/share/ssl/certs/slapd_cert.pem
tls_key /usr/share/ssl/certs/slapd_key.pem
TLSCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv2

/etc/openldap/ldap.conf:

HOST myldapserver
BASE dc=my,dc=ldap,dc=dir,dc=gov

Thanks!

Alex
