All of this means the client was able to successfully perform the
startTLS extended operation and start using SSL.

The UNBIND means the client had a problem and closed the connection.
Does the client print any errors? Are there any messages in the server

I'm not sure. PAM needs the ca cert of the CA that issued the directory
server server cert. See
