It should work. It's the way I've implemented it in web2ldap. You must use
either LDAPS or StartTLS ext.op.

You might wanna look what's going on by setting trace_level=2 when calling
ldap.initialize().

AD enforces that to work solely over an encrypted connection. A VPN is outside
the connection handling of AD so this won't work.
