Hi Ronald,
LDAP is what I call a legacy protocol not designed for the public internet. In mine opinion the SaaS need to support some kind of internet based teqnique like oauth, saml, token provider etc. With that said it is possible to allow LDAP communication on the public internet. Please investigate the options of the SaaS provider to connect on a VPN based technique.

Also make sure the host that published LDAPS to the public internet is hardened an (always) up--to-date.
