It depends if you want to do this for generic LDAP commands (ldapsearch, 
ldapmodify etc.) or other application which don't override specific 
configurations (e.g. Evolution) - in which case you must make the changes 
in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf , or if this is specific to nss_ldap and 
pam_ldap - in which case you must make the changes in /etc/ldap.conf.

Please consult the relevant documentation ('man ldap.conf', 'man 
pam_ldap', 'man nss_ldap' - if they are available on your system).


Please note that discussion of nss_ldap/pam_ldap is largely off-topic on this 
list (as there are lists specifically for these).
