Quoting ldap.conf(5):

TLS_REQCERT <level>
...
   try    The  server  certificate  is  requested. If no certificate is
provided, the session proceeds normally. If a bad certificate is provided, the
session is immediately terminated.

There is currently no way how to "provide no server certificate" and
successfully connect via a client (e.g. ldapsearch).
