"The ldaps URL scheme (direct SSL connection) is not supported."
It doesn't appear "LDAPS" is supported in Postgres 9.5.

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.
