If you're seeing an LDAP query then you've made it past the SSL handshake. In your capture, you should see the successful bind, then the request (query), and a response. The response should show a returned value for the given query, not just success(0). If the LDAP query doesn't return a value, ACA shuts down the connection.

 

 

The certificate LDAP mechanism in ACA is wired to extract and match the certificate CN to the LDAP/AD attribute that you specify.
