Have you edited the right configuration files? There are
/usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.conf, /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf and
/usr/local/etc/nss_ldap.conf. I had trouble with ldaps until I provided
the whole certificate chain on the client side.

Same here, but resolved after reinstalling everything. My guess is that
I've done something wrong when updating openldap-client to newest
version, including problems with compat libraries.

The slow startup is really annoying.
