Thread: JBDC LDAP support
Does the postgres JDBC driver include LDAP support? I was able to get psql to connect via LDAP using pg_service.conf (so I can confirm that the LDAP entry is correct), but a majority of our applications use jdbc to connect.
For example, normally our java apps would connect to Oracle with a url like this:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://oid.myserver.com/ABC_APP_L3,cn=OracleContext
However, I’m not able to find a way to accomplish similar with postgres. I’ve confirmed that the driver (postgresql-9.3-1102.jdbc4.jar) works when specifying the hostname, dbname, and port. When using LDAP, this is what I would expect, but it doesn’t work.
jdbc:postgresql:@ldap:// oid.myserver.com/ ABC_APP_L3,cn=PostgresContext
I’d appreciate any advice.

There is LDAP authentication in PostgreSQL.
Check out the PostgreSQL Documentation, section 19.3.8 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/auth-methods.html
and https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/LDAP_Authentication_against_AD

I think you are referring to this functionality: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-ldap.html This is part of the libpg shared library, and the JDBC driver does not use libpq. Unfortunately the JDBC driver does not support a similar functionality, although I think it would certainly be a nice thing to add. Yours, Laurenz Albe
