Answer

This is a defect were Changing from SSL to non-SSL where the previous "aaa.ldap.servercert.ca.fname" no longer exists on the filesystem throw this error.

There is a simple workaround on this if you can identify the filename of the server CA that is currently configured, and then simply create a file there so that ldap_config has something to load, that would allow you to move forward.

If you don't recall what the previously configured server CA file name please contact to Microfocus Support.
