[Samba] Samba 3.3 ldap tools

[Indexer]

I am currently trying to setup my Samba server to act as a samba PDC, with ldap as a backend. I have a selfsigned CA, that has signed the certificates to my ldap server. 

Starting my smbd, i keep getting the message

smb_ldap_setup_connection: ldap://ldap.streetgeek.lan/
Failed to issue the StartTLS instruction: Connect error
Connection to LDAP server failed for the 1 try!
smbldap_open: already connected to the LDAP server
Failed search for base: dc=dev,dc=gamersalliance,dc=net,dc=au, error: -1 (Can't contact LDAP server) (error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed (self signed certificate in certificate chain))

I have set in smbldap-tools.conf to verify="allow", as well as in ldap.conf to TLS_REQCERT = allow, so i dont understand why this is happening. All of my systems are pointed to the same cacert file so i doubt that it is confusing certificates. Are there any other options i should be considering?

Thanks

William
