how to 'expose' openldap server deployed on openshift to be accessed ?

I am able to deploy the docker image of the openldap server, the pod is up and running. Like other deployed app i defined a route to access the open ldap server. However, the when clicked on route defined, the page will not load.

Since defining route create a http/https url, which may not work for ldap server since ldap is being accessed via ldap://<ldap-server-address:389.

I also try connecting to it by taken out the http:// part of the url from the route and try to connect it via a ldap browser JXplorer and the connection will just timeout.

I cannot find any information on how to 'expose' this ldap server to be accessed.

Can someone point me to the steps to 'expose' openldap server in openshift please?
