Well, the easiest way was to 'tail -f' the LDAP server's log. I can see that PostgreSQL, indeed, calls getpwuid and tries to find LDAP's "uid" (the user name): Mar 8 10:23:24 eve slapd[586]: conn=38854 op=1 SRCH base="ou=People,dc=eureg,dc=eu" scope=1 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uidNumber=1011))" Mar 8 10:23:24 eve slapd[586]: conn=38854 op=1 SRCH attr=uid userPassword uidNumber gidNumber cn homeDirectory loginShell gecos description objectClass Strangely enough, everything works now.
