Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Server 12.04

There is a file /etc/ldap.conf, where for example you can specify the
Location of Certificates for ssl/tls operation of ldap utilities like
ldapsearch. But it turns out, that (at least ldapsearch) doesn't read
/etc/ldap.conf, but /etc/ldap/ldap.conf, which is not present on the
system.

Some articles on the Web say, that /etc/ldap/ldap.conf is for the ldap utilites, /etc/ldap.conf for pam operation with ldap.
I did a symbolic link /etc/ldap/ldap.conf -> /etc/ldap.conf. After that ldapsearch works with ssl/tls.
I don't know, whether pam needs a different ldap.conf, or can that symbolic link do a good job for most usersß
