Hmm, interesting. The documentation of slapd in 2.1 states this:

  TLSVerifyClient <level>
        Specifies what checks to perform on client  certificates  in  an
        incoming  TLS  session, if any.  The <level> can be specified as
        one of the following keywords:
  
        never  This is the default.  slapd will not ask the client for a
  	     certificate.
  
  [...]

I have not really used TLS with OpenLDAP for that though. Up to now the 
encryption was all I wanted...
