Are you using "start tls"? If yes, are you using self-signed
certificates?

Possible. But look at it from this angle: Is there a need for you to
restrict this? - As in how many active ldap clients will there be at any
one time? Of course there is the other issue of just turning it off to
test/verify the system and then seeing whether it is necessary and then
turning it back on.
