That is different per OS and application implementation. Search for "update CA certificates [your os or app name]"
We only use our LDAP for auth(n/z) so we tell PAM or SSSD (depending on OS version) to use the CA cert we push onto those nodes using our configuration management system (e.g.: puppet, chef) – without having to modify our CA bundles. We DO have an internal CA that java apps must support, as well as some system level apps: on those nodes we update the system as needed (CentOS or Java).
Good luck, - chris

Do we need to have CA certificate/server key on other client machine as well? If yes, then how can we achieve that?

I have followed this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21488845/how-can-i-generate-a-self-signed-certificate-with-subjectaltname-using-openssl. I update openssl.cnf file manually and added the ip address of other client machine. Then i generated ssl certificate. Now accessing ldaps:// platalytics.com:636http://platalytics.com:636 from other client machine (i also have added platalytics.comhttp://platalytics.com in /etc/hosts file) but unable to access it from external ip address. What i'm missing now?
Domain Name Service? Firewall? Routing Tables?

Hi Michael,
Thanks for explaining. I just so far performed server side validation using the link http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/185.html
Can you please guide me how can we perform client side verification? Means how to set subjectAltName extension?

Hope fully the client perfoms the TLS hostname check as defined in RFC 6125.
All hostnames and IP addresses used by clients have to be listed in the subjectAltName extension.
Ciao, Michael.
