When you are trying to do syncrepl with startls or ldaps://
between 2 Debian boxes and use self-signed certs, then it doesn't work.
When you are using LDAP-client compiled with OpenSSL, then it works,
because client tries to verify certs, not server and OpenSSL is more sane
when it
comes to self-signed certs.

Yes, I tried that CA.pl/sh script to create own CA,
debugged with gnutls utils and did lots of other stuff and every time I got
verification errors.

But this problem is OpenLDAP (debian package) related, not Samba.
