Sorry for chiming in here. There are two (2) ways of communicating with LDAP securely.

LDAP with StartTLS (Default port 389, like normal)
- Uses the same protocol but adds an encryption layer using "Extended Operation" (part of LDAP)
LDAPS or LDAP over SSL (Default port 636)
- Basically, the equivalent of HTTP vs HTTPS.

Both are very different and have different implementations. Some configurations support both, and some only the StartTLS version.

I suggest implementing both, increasing the compatibility with different LDAP configurations.

Added ZenDesk Ticket 5 to issue after having support call with organization. They are currently in the process of phasing out legacy LDAP for LDAPS and Okta as their authentication solutions going forward.
