I agree with the idea of tying PG to an external authentication
provider, but I strongly recommend to use GSSAPI and *not* LDAP, as LDAP
based auth is insecure and not needed when you're running an Active
Directory environment (which is a very common use-case that people
have in many places).

Thanks,

Stephen
