Hi all,
Is it passable to use LDAP for connection string lookup when try to connect to remote database using psql? I have client install on my work station and my LDAP entry for remote postgresql database looks like this:
cn=pgrls,cn=OracleContext
cn=pgrls
objectclass=orclDBServer
objectclass=top
objectclass=orclService
description=host=pgrls.cy53k5nd.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com
description=port=5439
description=dbname=pgrls

And my .pg_service.conf
ldap://oid.ldap.cornell.edu:389:636/cn=OracleContext?description?one?(cn=pgrls)

When
> psql pgrls
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Can anyone guide me through how to?

Thank you very much,
Garry
