LDAP could be used, but then we would have to move the current external users into the AD, and I'm not sure that can happen due to policy reasons.

active directory IS a sort of ldap. I'd be looking at connecting
apache to that AD too, and not trying to do it via postgres. associating
a postgres connection with each HTTP client session would be inefficent
and ugly, especially as http can have multiple threads for a single
client session, yet http is considered sessionless.
