I don't see what the connection is. RFC 4386 tells you how to find an LDAP or OCSP server. This is a profile of RFC 4387, which tells you how to find a key server for S/MIME and PGP keys, how to retrieve keys by e-mail address from it, and optionally how to check whether a domain has signed the keys it returns.
