After an upgrade LDAP for unix name services fails with "certificate has expired"

::> ldap check -vserver VSERVER

                  Vserver: VSERVER
Client Configuration Name: Unix
              LDAP Status: down
      LDAP Status Details: Error: Validate the Ldap configuration procedure failed
  [  0 ms] Hostname found in Name Service Cache
  [     0] IP Address found in Name Service Cache
  [     0] Resolved LDAP servers: 10.1.1.2. Vserver: vserverid
  [     1] Successfully connected to ip 10.1.1.2, port 389
           using TCP

           routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify
           failed (certificate has expired)

secd log also shows the expired certificate during name service lookups

This can affect NFS and other access relying on (unix user, unix groups, name mapping, netgroups) which are configured in the name-service switch to use ldap
The server-ca certificate seen is valid (not expired)

::*> security certificate show -vserver VSERVER -type server-ca
Vserver    Serial Number   Certificate Name                       Type

LDAP check may work with direct SSH into another node of the cluster
