[Samba] Samba as DC member UDP ports used

Hello,

I have a customer that complains that Samba (as DC member) uses UDP 
during  AD authentication when clients mount a share.
I have run a test and traced network packet and it seems UDP is used by 
the CLDAP (Samba server is 10.50.50.35, AD is 10.50.50.85)

Frame 1: 133 bytes on wire (1064 bits), 133 bytes captured (1064 bits) 
on interface vmxnet3s0, id 0

I searched in the smb.conf man page and I can change the CLDAP port used 
but it seems I can't force to use TCP.
Is there a way to force Samba to use TCP instead of UDP?
If it's not possible could you please shortly explain why Samba is using 
UDP port.

Regards
Andrea
