Small correction:

TLS_CACERT must be the certificate from a ROOT Certificate Authority or
a Certificate Authority certification signed by a known parent CA.  CA
means "Certificate Authority". There can be multiple levels of Certificate
authority.

Every certificate has an Issuer (Certificate Authority) which signed the
certificate, and, a Subject whose public key and other data is signed
by the CA. If the certificate has the correct attributes, then, it can be
used to sign subordinate certificates.

A certificate which has the same issuer and subject is a ROOT certificate
because there is no parent certificate.

You might want to check if there is also a TLS_CACERTDIR directive
or similar which could still allow the client to locate the CA Certificate.

My issue is that the ssl connexion still works if i comment the line with
TLS_CACERT /usr/local/etc/raddb/RTFE/conca.pem.
and it should not because without this certificate authority my openldap
proxy should not be able to >check the certificate sent by the backend ldap.
TLS certificate verification: Error, self signed certificate in certificate
chain
but it works with this error.

You must have your root CA -> selfsigned after you create
- CA and key for your LDAP server
- CA anad key for client

both  CA(client,server) you must sign by your CA root certificate
