TLS, unknown CA error (was RE: openldap 2.1.3 problems)

There are plenty of answers to this question already on this email list.

Whatever CA cert you configured in slapd.conf must also be configured on the
client, using the TLS_CACERT option in ldap.conf or your .ldaprc file. If you
didn't create an explicit CA cert and are just using a self-signed server
cert, then that cert must be configured on the client using the TLS_CACERT
option. Read the ldap.conf(5) man page for more info on this option.
