[CentOS] OpenDJ - and Centos Auth

All,

I  have a working OpenDJ with SSL enabled and have also added users to
it....

Now, I am unable to authenticate my linux box to OpenDJ LDAP server, either
from login prompt or ssh...

I understand sssd is the latest program which does this configuration and I
have that configured...

though there is lot of howtos which google get, still there is clear
documentation that I can find to perform the auth..
Please help
Regards
G
