The issue was the SSL connection (ldaps). Open 
/usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.conf (or locate ldap.conf) and instruct the 
client to NOT request the certificate.

# Instruct client to NOT request a server's cert.
TLS_REQCERT never

You can also run Windows XP certificate manager and export your certificate 
(base64) and copy it to /usr/local/openssl/certs and run c_rehash. But I 
don't think this step is necessary - just config ldap to not request the 
cert should do it.

(This was done by a co-worker, not me, so I don't know all the answers)
