When I compare the errors file on my production environment and my test
environment, I do note that the LDAPS entry is missing from my production
environment:

production:
[01/Mar/2017:17:30:07 -0600] - slapd started.  Listening on All Interfaces
port 389 for LDAP requests
[01/Mar/2017:17:30:07 -0600] - Listening on
/var/run/slapd-PROD-EXAMPLE-COM.socket
for LDAPI requests

test:
[28/Feb/2017:13:37:50 -0600] - slapd started.  Listening on All Interfaces
port 389 for LDAP requests
[28/Feb/2017:13:37:50 -0600] - Listening on All Interfaces port 636 for
LDAPS requests
[28/Feb/2017:13:37:50 -0600] - Listening on
/var/run/slapd-TEST-EXAMPLE-COM.socket
for LDAPI requests

I'm not sure why it is missing though. Which config file(s) should I be
checking?
