LDAP over SSL on windows service

I have an application that connects to an LDAP server using SSL. The problem I'm having is that when I run it as a console application it connects successfully, but when I run the application as a windows service, it fails.

There is some information that could help:

1 ldap_connect = 0 (Success) with all the LDAP ports running as APPLICATION under user ADMINISTRATOR tested ports 389,3268 without ssl and 636,3269 with SSL 2 ldap_connect = 0 (Success) running as service with port 389 or 3268 3 ldap_connect = 81 (Not connected) running AS SERVICE with ports 636 or 3269 We tested the service running under user administrator and also tested under other special user agent with all the permisions

Example of the test

pLdapConnection = ldap_sslinit((PWCHAR)ldap_host.c_str(), ldap_port,1); // Secure LDAP 
// allways return success
ldap_set_option(pLdapConnection, LDAP_OPT_SSL, LDAP_OPT_ON); // set SSL option
ldap_set_option(pLdapConnection, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, LDAP_OPT_OFF); // required  
result = ldap_connect(pLdapConnection, &timeout);

result = LDAP_SERVER_DOWN (0x51)

I appreciate any help you can give me.

What account is the service running under? Is it a specific domain user that has access to the LDAP server? You might want to set the SPNs on the LDAP server as well; I've had double-hop token problems before with authentication.
