As per the /usr/share/doc/gq/README.Debian it suggests you manually create your configuration file as there is a known issue with connecting to your ldap server. And your server configuration disappearing.
I manually edited my ~/.gq file to contain the following <ldapserver> section. <ldapserver> <name>LDAP Server</name> <ldaphost>ldaps://ldapmaster.foo.domain.tld</ldaphost> <ldapport>389</ldapport> <basedn>dc=domain,dc=net,dc=au</basedn> <binddn>cn=Manager,dc=domain,dc=net,dc=au</binddn> <search-attribute>cn</search-attribute> <ask-pw>True</ask-pw> <pw-encoding>Base64</pw-encoding> </ldapserver> Originally my <ask-pw> section was set to False, and there was no <pw-encoding> section. Add these and restart gq, you client should now connect successfully.
