Crikey, that would be  quite a lot of  lot of SSL/TLS to set up. We have
quite a few (massive understatement :( ... ) PostgreSQL database
clusters spread over quite a lot (another understatement) of VMs.

The last time I suggested LDAP there was a lot of enthusiasm ... until
they went down and looked at what might have to be done, after which it
all became very quiet ...

Martin.
