I can confirm this bug existed in karmic and still exists in lucid, and has gotten worse since /etc/sudo-ldap.conf is now a symbolic link to /etc/ldap/ldap.conf. Not knowing this, I tried to edit /etc/sudo- ldap.conf and change ldaps to ldap, accidentally turning off encryption for all NSS/PAM LDAP activity including passwords!
The page linked above is only partially relevant, since it deals with connection debugging with ldapsearch, which works just fine with ldaps in this case. I did the gnutls-client part and got the following: Processed 1 CA certificate(s). Resolving 'mail....de'...
