We use LDAP for authentication, but the user also has to be in the
database. Using LDAP is as easy as adding something like this to your
pg_hba.conf:
ldap "ldap://my-ldap-server.domain/Users;uid=;,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=local"
Even with nobody being able to use their own client, with trust
authentication, anybody could log in as anybody else without knowing
their password
