assume the only thing you had to do was cut/paste code into the localsettings.php file and change the values to point to your directory??? If so, can you provide the code you cut and pasted, to include the changes you made.
The issue was the SSL connection (ldaps). Open /usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.conf (or locate ldap.conf) and instruct the client to NOT request the certificate.
# Instruct client to NOT request a server's cert. TLS_REQCERT never
You can also run Windows XP certificate manager and export your certificate (base64) and copy it to /usr/local/openssl/certs and run c_rehash. But I don't think this step is necessary - just config ldap to not request the cert should do it.
(This was done by a co-worker, not me, so I don't know all the answers)
