Yes, I saw that, but when I tried
ldap ldapserver=... ldapport=636 ldaptls=1
it failed.

That very well could be. I always *assumed* that "ldaps://" meant it
was doing SSL on port 636. After all: That's what SMTPS means, for
example. But I got to thinking, and looking at my OpenLDAP config and
thought "Hmmm... I wonder...?" and removed "ldapport=636" from my
pg_hba.conf and, lo and behold, it worked!
Thanks for the follow-up, Tom.
