User Authentication: LDAP and "local" accounts concurrently ?

Hi,

i created a Postgres Server 9.6 on a SLES 12 SP3 box. In our institution we have a Windows ADS which i like to use to authenticate users via LDAP. But because there are several prerequisites to create such an account, which make things
sometime complicated, i also like to create "local" users (users defined in the postgres DB itself).
Is it possible to use both concurrently ? Some users autheticate via LDAP, others local.

From what i read in the doc it does not seem to work:
"Each record specifies a connection type, a client IP address range (if relevant for the connection type),
a database name, a user name, and the authentication method to be used for connections matching
these parameters. The first record with a matching connection type, client address, requested database,
and user name is used to perform authentication.
====> There is no “fall-through” or “backup”: if one record
is chosen and the authentication fails, subsequent records are not considered. If no record matches,
access is denied. <=====

But maybe i misunderstood that.
