You you need to set the auth helper parameters to point at the LDAP
server on port 636.

<http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/manuals/basic_ldap_auth.html>

Given that 636 is the port for LDAPS (not LDAP). You are probably just
missing out the -Z option to tell Squid to use TLS / LDAPS when taking
to the server.



You only need to rebuild if the helper does not accept -Z cmdline
parameter. In which case you will need to upgrade your LDAP libraries to
a set that support TLS and LDAP v3 communication before rebuilding Squid.
