You're mixing START_TLS (which normally uses port 389) and LDAPS. The -ZZ 
option requires START_TLS which is not supported by AD. Try using
ldap_initilize("ldaps://192.168.72.230").
Unless you're server certificate containes a subjectAltName extension of 
type ip address, you'll also need to use the server's FQDN instead of its 
IP.
