I forgot to mention that there was a brief discussion about this on Hackers: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg00828.php My implementation follows the idea from http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg01198.php I thought it would be good to have some real code as a basis for further discussion whether this is a desirable feature or not. I felt somewhat encouraged because PostgreSQL already has a dependency on OpenLDAP since http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2005-12/msg00375.php and I do not have to introduce a new dependency.
