Are you using SSSD or NSLCD to configure Centos6 as a LDAP client, If
you are using SSSD, You need to have TLS enabled on your LDAP server.

Try this.

Install nss-pam-ldapd & pam_ldap

    # yum install nss-pam-ldapd pam_ldap

Configure nslcd Using GUI.

    Authconfig will try to use sssd by default, in order to configure
nslcd, enable FORCELEGACY option in authconfig as shown below.

Edit /etc/sysconfig/authconfig, change "FORCELEGACY" option to "yes"

    FORCELEGACY=yes

# authconfig --enableldap --enableldapauth
--ldapserver="ldap01.example.com" --ldapbasedn="dc=example,dc=com"
--enableforcelegacy --update
