Thanks for your reply. Following your information, i changed
saslauthd.conf:

ldap_servers: ldap://localhost
ldap_bind_dn: cn=admin,dc=abc,dc=com
ldap_bind_pw: 123456789
ldap_search_base: dc=abc,dc=com
ldap_start_tls: yes
ldap_tls_cacert_dir: /var/myCA
ldap_tls_cacert_file: /var/myCA/cacert.crt

and i started OpenLDAP with parameter:

root at ldap:/usr/local/openldap/libexec# ./slapd -h 'ldap:///'

but it failed... too.

I mean that i just want to encrypt a traffic connection between Cyrus SASL
and OpenLDAP. So that i will config is:

start OpenLDAP with parameter:

root at ldap:/usr/local/openldap/libexec# ./slapd -h 'ldap:/// ldaps:///" ( I
want to use both 389 and 636 ports)

saslauthd.conf:

ldap_servers: ldaps://localhost
ldap_bind_dn: cn=admin,dc=abc,dc=com
ldap_bind_pw: 123456789
ldap_search_base: dc=abc,dc=com

Is that correct way?

Best Regards,
