The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      15495
Logged by:          Renaud Navarro
Email address:      rnavarro@nocibe.fr
PostgreSQL version: 11.1
Operating system:   Oracle Linux 7.5
Description:        

Hi

After upgrade database from postgresql 10.5 to postgresql 11.1, LDAP
authentication no longer work with multiple ldap server specified.
The pg_hba.conf have the following line :
hostssl    all             all             172.20.0.0/16           ldap
ldapserver="dcinfrap01s.nocibe.net dcinfrap02s.nocibe.net"
ldapprefix="NOCIBE\" ldaptls=1 "
I have the following error in log file :
2018-11-09 16:32:45.407 CET [29629] LOG:  could not initialize LDAP: Bad
parameter to an ldap routine
2018-11-09 16:32:45.408 CET [29629] FATAL:  LDAP authentication failed for
user "admin_rnavarro"
If I modify the pg_hba.conf with one LDAP server, the authentication is
working.
The same entry with postgresql 10.5 work perfectly

Thanks for helping me

Kind Regards

Thanks for the report.  I see the problem.  In commit
35c0754fadca8010955f6b10cb47af00bdbe1286 we switched from ldap_init()
to ldap_initialize() because the newer interface supports LDAPS.  To
do that we have to build a URI from the given protocol, server and
port.  I overlooked the case where multiple servers are specified in
ldapserver. If you say ldapserver="a b c" then we generate a URI
"ldap://a b c:389", but it looks like we should instead generate a URI
list "ldap://a:389 ldap://b:389 ldap://c:389".

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an obvious workaround until we
can ship a fix in the next point release, because ldapurl doesn't
support the space-separated list format either.

Commit 35c0754f failed to handle the case where a space-separated list of a hostnames is provided in ldapserver, when building a URI for ldap_initialize(). Such lists need to be expanded to a space-separated list of URIs. Repair. Back-patch to 11, to fix bug report #15495.

I did some testing with various multi-server configurations, added a
simple two hostname case to the regression tests and pushed this to
master and 11.  Thanks again for the report.
