Note, the OpenLDAP API design issue is resolved with OpenLDAP 2.4.

With OpenLDAP 2.4 it is possible to set the TLS properties for
a particular LDAP connection (not just global properties), and to
associate a new OpenLDAP managed TLS context for the connection via the
new "LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_NEWCTX" option.

Try this completely untested patch (it may not even compile, but it
looks promising):
