Hi Chris,
I am using rhel 6.3, with sssd-1.8.0 and openldap-servers-2.4.23-26, the kernel is 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64. The problem I'm having is I get this error message in messages file.
"sssd[be[default]]: Could not start TLS encryption. TLS error -5938:Encountered end of file"
Does a following command work for you from the same machine?
LDAPTLS_CACERTDIR=/etc/openldap/cacerts ldapsearch -ZZ -x -H ldap://ibm-01.flamengro.co.za -b dc=flamengro,dc=com
(You can add -d1 for debug output.)
