The migration is taking place in the context of the web server. So any 
trust needs to be added to /etc/httpd/alias (and the httpd service 
restarted). It needs to trust the signer of the remote LDAP server. What 
I don't know is how you add trust in NSS for a self-signed server 
certificate. You might be best off issuing new SSL certs for your 
openldap server which uses a CA to issue the server cert in order to 
perform the migration.
