IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

LDAP provides a parameter ibm-slapdSecurity to configure the security options for the port. The current supported values are SSL, SSLOnly, TLS, or SSLTLS. If you want the LDAP only listens on the secure port, SSLOnly can be set to this parameter.
This parameter works on 7.1 and following releases.
Refer to https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=dscs-attributes
none - The server listens on the nonsecure port only.
SSL - The server listens on both the SSL and the non-SSL ports. The secure port is the only means of using a secure connection.
SSLOnly - The server listens on the SSL port only.
TLS - The server only listens on the nonsecure port. The StartTLS extended operation is the only means of using a secure connection.
SSLTLS - The server listens on both the default and secure ports. The StartTLS extended operation can be used to get a secure connection over the default port, or the client can use the secure port directly. Sending a StartTLS over the secure port will return the message LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR.

IBM i does have a built in IP Packet Filter, if you want to built a strict network access policy for all network traffic, (not just LDAP), on your IBM i estate, this is an option you may want to consider.
You can always use the build in firewall of IBM i to block the non-SSL port.
