Answer 1

In order to secure/encrypt your LDAP calls you need to issue the "Start TLS" operation.

Otherwise I think transport is plain text.

Obviously the Java API is based on LDAP itself. So you could learn more about how the protocol itself handles it...i.e.:

Answer 2

Use ethereal or wireshark and snoop your LDAP connection to check if it is encrypted. If its encrypted then great, if not then try Michael Sharek's suggestion.

If you find there is absolutely no way to setup encryption with code, then you can use stunnel. With stunnel you would make a unsecured connection to a port on the localhost, stunnel is listening on that port, encrypts everything with SSL and then sends the info to the LDAP server. Is very useful when using 3rd party apps that have no notion of network security.
