Using database user authentication is great for corporate use. If
you have an LDAP (or active directory) you can define the
authentication to use that. See the pg_hba file for details on
various authentication methods. <br>

Our application is written in python as well (desktop modules in
wxPython and web modules in django) and we use LDAP authentication.<br>
