Jonathon is 100% correct. Starting with OSX Leopard the ldap client
was 'locked down' to make it more secure out of the box.  The
TLS_REQCERT = never was revised to TLS_REQCERT = demand.

You either need to make the change on each client in
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf to reset it back to its previous state or you
shall need to do the following:

(01) Copy the cert to the client /etc/openldap/certs
(02) Add the following line to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf:
TLS_CACERT    /etc/openldap/certs/bright.newshinycert.com
