Can you connect to the server using any of the OpenLDAP client utilities

Yes, I am able to use ldapsearch and ldapadd. It works fine. 

I am not trying to execute start_tls on ldaps://. I know they work entirely different. 

On a non encrypted port I am trying to set up encryption calling start_tls. But does not work. 
The library is compiled with --with-tls option. 

The server supports both encryption (ldaps:// and ldap://+tls) and no encryption.
