So I would suggest running something like:

openssl s_client -showcerts -connect your.ldap.server:636

and check whether openssl complains.

If you copy/paste the certs from this output and trust them in the  
System keychain and it still doesn't work... file a bug report, and  
file impact data along with the bug report

I'm seeing bugs with certain root authorities that the OS should trust  
but doesn't wrt DirectoryServices.

This isn't ideal having to switch Leopard clients to a more insecure  
mode, and we should get Apple to fix it.
