LDAP, SSL and cert7.db format

I am trying to use an LDAP server over port 636 (SSL). The TeamSite documentation (as well as support) indicates that the CAFile must be in cert7.db format. However, when I generate the db using the certutil command on Solaris 10, it is always generated as a cert8.db format. When I use the cert8.db filepath in user_databases.xml I get the following error when I try and add a user:

ERROR:00001: Failure in operation

the iwtrace.log says:
ERROR: 'Can't contact LDAP server' in binding to (ldap.server.com) on port 636
[Mon Aug 11 23:19:01 2008] ERROR: LDAP Connect() FAILED. Unable to search for user user_name

I have verified the binding credentials as well as the telnet capability between TeamSite and LDAP server.

I am running TS 671SPI on Solaris 10.

Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is not working? Does anyone know how to generate the cert7.db formatted file?

Thanks.
