I haven't upgraded to RH7.2 on any box so everything that follows is a
guess,  and I'm assuming you had TLS working before.

Is slapd listening on both 389 and 636?

Have you verified that your certificates are still OK?  You did upgrade
openssl in the process of upgrading RH7.2 (I assume).  Possibly they
moved a directory or changed some file permissions.  They love to create
new uids that services run as between versions; leaving previous configs
not working because the server process no longer has rights to read the
files.

But you can connect "cleartext"?
