ldap configuration issue forcing TLS

We have a test environment using your vertica-vmsrvr-7.0.1-0.64 image and are trying to get LDAP to authenticate a user.  My issue is that i continually get "FATAL 3846:  LDAP authentication failed".  I have used the unix binary ldapsearch to Successfully connect to the LDAP Microsoft AD server and been able to connect fine.  I then took the parameters used in the ldapsearch to build the ClientAuthentication in vertica.conf.  It appears from the logs that it wants to connect to the ldap server using TLS?  We also added the ldap.conf and the environment variable LDAPCONF even though we are not using ldaps, tls or ssl but it mentioned in the documents that this is a requirement for setting up ldap.  
Below is the ClientAuthentication record, output from the vertica log, ldapsearch command ,the ldapsearch output and ldap.conf.

ClientAuthentication = host all 0.0.0.0/0 ldap "ldap://150.142.96.30/search;basedn=DC=llbean11,DC=lcom,DC=llbean1,DC=State,DC=ME,DC=US;binddn=CN=steve.brown,OU=DMTRUsers,OU=DMTR,DC=llbean11,DC=lcom,DC=llbean1,DC=State,DC=ME,DC=US;bindpasswd=rosoft99ff;searchattribute=sAMAccountName"

here is the log output:
