I'd suggest having a good read of this page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication

If you're still having no LDAP results show up with getent, then there's 
issues with nsswitch still. The nsswitch.conf you sent me looks right, 
so I'd put my money on a problem in your ldap client settings. Check 
/etc/ldap.conf and /etc/ldap/ldap.conf and make sure anything set there 
is correct. Also check that a basedn is set in one of them and the host 
is set correctly.

You may also want to check you can access the LDAP data from an LDAP 
viewer... I use phpldapadmin to check actual content, and LAM to manage 
accounts. But any LDAP client that shows the tree will help.
