Is this /etc/openldap/ldap.conf?  In order to get pam/nss working (I 
assume by "login" you mean login to the operating system) you need to 
configure pam/nss ldap to do TLS, which is the file /etc/ldap.conf, 
which takes the below parameters in slightly different format.

I don't know if you need TLS_CERT and TLS_KEY - are you attempting to do 
client cert auth - EXTERNAL bind?
