TLS has nothing to do with port 636.

Please let us stay precise here and don't use "TLS" as an acronym for "StartTLS extended operation".


Off course TLS could be used on port 636 which is the default port for URI scheme LDAPS:// since TLSv1 is the IETF successor of SSLv3. Whether SSLv3 or TLSv1 is used is negotiated between client and server.

And off course StartTLS extended operation starts an encrypted tunnel in-band an existing LDAP connection (URI scheme LDAP://, default port 389).
