Did you try w/o start TLS support? I realize this can have security
implications, so this is only to see if the problem is with TLS or with
the configuration in general.
It the LDAP server is on the same server as the samba server then I
don't think you will need TLS encryption, since there isn't LAN traffic
to snoop.
don't forget to set set the ldap password with "smbpasswd -w"
Also I think "ldaps" means ldap over SSL, not ldap+tls. I would also
use ldapclient tools (e.g. the command line ldapsearch or the gui Apache
Directory Studio ldap browser and editor) to make sure you can connect
to the ldap server via LDAP, LDAP+TLS and/or LDAPS-over-SSL. You
need to make sure you have all the certificates configured correctly.

We have a central LDAP server for our enterprise on a Linux box. I have
installed Samba 3.4.4 server on an AIX server and trying to get users
authenticated via LDAP server. So far my efforts have been unsuccessful.
Here is my ldap section of the smb.conf file:
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://<company_ldap_server>/
ldap ssl = start tls
ldap suffix = dc=xxx,dc=yyy,dc=zzz
ldap delete dn = no
ldap user suffix = ou=People
ldap group suffix = ou=Groups
Here is the error I am seeing in the Samba errorlog:
[2013/05/16 11:08:14, 0] lib/smbldap.c:656(smb_ldap_start_tls)
Failed to issue the StartTLS instruction: Can't contact LDAP server
[2013/05/16 11:08:14, 1] lib/smbldap.c:1231(another_ldap_try)
Connection to LDAP server failed for the 1 try!
Is there a documented procedure on how to connect samba users to a backend ldap
server?
Any help with is greatly appreciated
Thanks, Prakash
