I'm having some trouble configuring ldap login to postgres. I have configured LDAP on pg_hba.conf and postgres picks up the correct configuration during login but I get an error message whenever I attempt to login with psql to a database named teste.
psql: error: could not connect to server: FATAL: LDAP authentication failed for user "my_user_id"
Looking at the log I get a more detailed message but it isn't very useful either

Searching postgres source code I was able to find where the problem happens[1] however it makes things a bit more confusing because from my understanding postgres was able to successfully bind to the LDAP server in line 2676 but on line 2700 it reported that a bind was necessary before querying.
Looking at the tcp packages with tcpdump I was able to notice that openldap does in fact receive my_user_id information from the server but for some reason it tries to perform another operation afterwards and fails.
Can anyone help me with this?
