I want to configure pgBouncer with LDAP and the documentation[1] says we need to

Create the users.txt PgBouncer authentication file. The first field is the user name and the second is the LDAP or Active Directory lookup string for the user

Context of users.txt example

"gpdbuser1" "ldap://10.0.0.11:10389/uid=gpdbuser1,ou=users,ou=system"

My question is, How do I find the lookup string for a user?

I found in active directory that I can see my user at following location

CN=x760770,OU=People,OU=eProfile,DC=hello,DC=hi,DC=yahoo,DC=com

Can I say the ldap look up string is above? and I can write below in user.txt file

"gpdbuser1" "ldap://10.0.0.11:10389/CN=x760770,OU=People,OU=eProfile,DC=hello,DC=hi,DC=yahoo,DC=com"

Perhaps you should have a look at the admin guide yourself. The lookup string for AD looks quite different from the OpenLDAP one you've copied. – Gerard H. Pille Apr 27 '18 at 12:16
I might be wrong by saying that we have active directory. It can be open LDAP. – user2230605 Apr 27 '18 at 12:32

A first step would be to make sure which one it is. – Gerard H. Pille Apr 27 '18 at 12:52
