Small correction:
TLS_CACERT must be the certificate from a ROOT Certificate Authority or a Certificate Authority certification signed by a known parent CA. CA means "Certificate Authority". There can be multiple levels of Certificate authority.
Every certificate has an Issuer (Certificate Authority) which signed the certificate, and, a Subject whose public key and other data is signed by the CA. If the certificate has the correct attributes, then, it can be used to sign subordinate certificates.
A certificate which has the same issuer and subject is a ROOT certificate because there is no parent certificate.
You might want to check if there is also a TLS_CACERTDIR directive or similar which could still allow the client to locate the CA Certificate.

but it works with this error.
You must have your root CA -> selfsigned after you create
- CA and key for your LDAP server
- CA anad key for client
both CA(client,server) you must sign by your CA root certificate
