Well, I've tried changing that setting, and still get the same error message. I'm pretty sure this is a certificate issue, just don't know how it's resolved.
You put that setting into /etc/openldap/ldap.conf right? /etc/ldap.conf is for pam/nss, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf is for openldap clients (like PHP).
The NetWare server has a certificate that's issued from eDirectory. I see lots of stuff about putting the certs in the /ect/pki directory on Red Hat, but nothing about where they should go on Suse Linux, and what configuration files need to be modified to make them recognized.
From what I've seen online, your CA certs go into /etc/ssl.
V/r,
