Setting up LDAPs LDAP over SSL

Hello everyone, i am trying to setup LDAPS for my environment.  Here is what i have done so far:

installed AD CS with only the certificate authority feature on a server 2008 r2 member server

followed the instructions here:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2980.ldap-over-ssl-ldaps-certificate.aspx

all the way up to the export part.

i have a 2012 DC and enrolled the certificate in the personal section.  

from my CA i run ldp.exe and try to connect to my domain name over ssl and port 636

i get the following error:

ld = ldap_sslinit("domain.local", 636, 1);
Error 81 = ldap_set_option(hLdap, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
Error 81 = ldap_connect(hLdap, NULL);
Server error: <empty>
Error <0x51>: Fail to connect to domain.local.

if someone could help i would truly appreciate it.

Thank you,
