authconfig sets the undefined configuration value "ssl no" in nslcd.conf
Issue
We noticed that when using authconfig like
/usr/sbin/authconfig --kickstart --enableldap --enableldapauth --ldapserver ${LDAPNODES} --ldapbasedn ${BASEDN} --enablelocauthorize
what is being written to /etc/nslcd.conf contains
ssl no
However, no is not documented value for the ssl directive.
While looking at man (5) nslcd.conf
ssl on|off|start_tls
Specifies whether to use SSL/TLS or not (the default is not to). If start_tls is specified then StartTLS is used rather than raw LDAP over SSL. Not all LDAP client libraries
support both SSL, StartTLS and all related configuration options.
