Re: [Non-DoD Source] Re: [ADMIN] Postgres user authentication withsecure LDAP

I am responding to all replies in this single email. Thanks for all your response.

>> The ldapserver= attribute takes a host name, not a URL.
Thanks. I tried that too. If I omit the ldaps://  the response is server not found.

>> What OS is your server running, and what OS is your client running?
RedHat Linux (RHEL 6), both client and server. Postgres 9.5.6

 >> Well, first off, you're on the wrong port for LDAPS://
Default port for LDAPS:// is 636. I verified with "ldapsearch" tool  that it works with that port.

Thanks,
Ron

The ldapserver= attribute takes a host name, not a URL.
