On DNS you are using, usually on AD DNS.

In AD startTLS usually works by default, strange. Why you disable it?

This error means, that you don't have SRV record for 
'_ldaps._tcp.university.mydomain.com'. You need to create first, before 
changing aaa-ldap configuration.

You can check if it's resolvable, by running following command:

  $ dig @one_of_the_adservers.com _ldaps._tcp.university.mydomain.com SRV

The problem is about the namespaces : when LDAP.properties file and AD.properties file are activated, the namespace suggested in the web interface in the user tab, when choosing AD, is the DN of the LDAP...Which seems to be a bug....Namespaces of everything are mixed...And if I select internal and then select again AD, a new namespace appears : * (from internal).

Yes, that's weird, but I guess it's misconfigured. Doesn't your names of 
extensions conflict?
I think that you combine values(names) 'ovirt.engine.extension.name' for 
both AD and OpenLDAP. It should differ. Can you post those configurations?
