that's not really what I wanted.. I am developing my own ldap client and I wanted to know what is the code path to set the option.

I tried to use the following:

ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT, "never")

but it always fails ( != 0).

Howard has already pointed out that the value must be an LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_* constant and not a string; I just wanted to add that in version 2.3 and earlier, that option (and most of the other TLS options) could only be set globally: ldap_set_option() would fail for them if the first argument wasn't NULL. So, make sure you're building against a current version.
