Re: LDAP authentication not working

I don't think SSL support for LDAP is supported. Have you tried TLS on port 389?

Hi,

I'm running postgresql 9.1 on Debian and am trying to set up LDAP
authentication using the following configuration in pg_hba.conf:

hostssl testdb  all     143.50.203.0/24 ldap ldapserver="wegc24.uni-graz.at"
ldapport=636 ldapbinddn="cn=nss,dc=uni-graz,dc=at"
ldapbindpasswd="<thepasswd>" ldapbasedn="dc=uni-graz,dc=at"


Trying to access testdb via psql fails with the following error in the log:
'''could not perform initial LDAP bind for ldapbinddn
"cn=nss,dc=uni-graz,dc=at" on server "wegc24.uni-graz.at": error code -1'''

Unfortunately I did not find what error code -1 means.

Ldapsearch works fine:
> ldapsearch -W -H ldaps://wegc24.uni-graz.at:636/ -D
"CN=nss,DC=uni-graz,DC=at"

Interesting is also, that postgres seems to not even reach the ldap
server: If I change parameter ldapserver to a non-existing url it gives
the same error code -1.

Any help much appreciated!

Best,
Juergen
