In order to use an LDAPS connection. The LDAP query should look like this  
`LDAP://servername:636/DC=companyName,DC=com`

If this connection doesn’t work, make sure that the SSL certificate is valid and certified.  
If it is not certified, remove the 636 port:  
`LDAP://servername/DC=companyName,DC=com`
