Thank you, that did it. I was under the impression that you didn't need to specify ldaps because the ssl on and start_tls directives took care of that.

Thanks again.

I find that TLS will not work if I use uri ldap://10.3.5.207/  in /etc/ldap.conf on my clients.

TLS magically starts working if I use the deprecated host directive instead:

So if I use host 10.3.5.207 instead everything starts working:

#TLS settings
ssl start_tls
ssl on
tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts
tls_cacertfile /etc/openldap/cacerts/slapdcert.pem
tls_checkpeer no

try using uri ldaps://10.3.5.207/ .
