ldap over tls -- ssl cert help

Hey Guys,
I am trying to setup ldap over tls in our lab. I am generating a self signed cert on the ldap server and importing that into the ldap system so it will use ldap over port 636. The clients will be a mix of solaris and redhat. I am lost on what I need to do on the client side to get them to use the tls connection. Do I need to create an nss db on the client and import the server cert? Or what is the proper procedure to do this? I am not an expert with SSL certs and certutil but I am working on it Smilie.

Thanks,
Shaun

NAME
slapo-pbind - proxy bind overlay to slapd SYNOPSIS
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf DESCRIPTION
The pbind overlay to slapd(8) forwards Simple Binds on a local database to a remote LDAP server instead of processing them locally. The remote connection is managed using an instance of the ldap backend. The pbind overlay uses a subset of the ldap backend's config directives. They are described in more detail in slapd-ldap(5). Note: this overlay is built into the ldap backend; it is not a separate module. overlay pbind This directive adds the proxy bind overlay to the current backend. The proxy bind overlay may be used with any backend, but it is mainly intended for use with local storage backends. uri <ldapurl> LDAP server to use. tls <TLS parameters> Specify the use of TLS. network-timeout <time> Set the network timeout. quarantine <quarantine parameters> Turns on quarantine of URIs that returned LDAP_UNAVAILABLE.
