URI-encoding '/' character seems to be mandatory with openldap 2.4 clients (at least 2.4.9) now: (...) [root@stalingrad rousse]# ldapsearch -H ldapi:///var/run/ldap/ldapi DNS SRV: Could not turn DN="var/run/ldap/ldapi" into a domain -> NOK

[root@stalingrad rousse]# ldapsearch -H 'ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fldap%2fldapi' -> OK

is this intentional ?

Yes. Early OpenLDAP had a number of URI parsing bugs, which are hopefully fixed now. This change is consequence of ITS#4879: Where does the DN begin in ldapi:///foo/bar/cn=xy/z,dc=example,dc=com?
