Probably, strong authentication means:

1. The LDAP client can't use anonymous authentication, or
2. The LDAP client can use DN/password but only over SSL/TLS, or
3. The LDAP client must use a X.509 digital certificate.

Strong authentication is a little bit vague: You can use strong mutual
authentication (both client and server use X.509 digital certificates)
or server-side strong authentication (usually the server authenticates
to the client using a X.509 digital certificate and the client can
authenticate using password/PIN/secret).
