Are you using windows or unix? On unix, postgresql can use pam
(pluggable authentication modules) for authentication. There are
pam modules for about any authentication schema you can image, including
ldap.

Just compile a version of postgres that includes pam support (Most
binary packages already include that), add a line containing
"all all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 pam" to pg_hba.conf, and create a
/etc/pam.d/postgres file.
