Description
we have openldap setup in our environment and want photon os 3 (which we are currently evaluating for docker implementing in our environment) to authenticate from openldap using TLS , I have been able to update the private CA cert and add LDAP details in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf after installing openldap and adjusting /etc/nsswitch.conf to accept ldap auth ..... but am unable to login from ldap ..... while ldapsearch commands work well and openssl also connecting using TLS ......I guess what I am mising is nscd and nss-pam-ldapd ..... please help to sort out the issue so that we can use this os in production.... thanks in advance

Research direction
Start with the reported authentication setup in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf, then review the mention of nscd and nss-pam-ldapd. Reproduce the difference between working ldapsearch and openssl TLS connections and the failed login; done means LDAP login works on Photon OS 3 over TLS.
