The version of openldap included with FC3 checks the certification
path. You need to copy the root certificate for your server (i.e. the
certificate for the CA that signed your server certificate) to a known
location, for instance "/usr/share/ssl/cacert.pem", and then include
the following in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf:

TLS_CACERT /usr/share/ssl/cacert.pem


Hope this helps.
