I found the documentation on the web site quite good. These are two
examples I use every day for authenticating postgres users to a remote
AD:
host neos all 127.0.0.1/32 ldap ldapserver=ipaddress ldapbasedn="OU=xxx,DC=yyy,DC=local"
ldapbinddn="CN=uuu,OU=xxx,DC=yyy,DC=local"ldapbindpasswd=password ldapsearchattribute=sAMAccountName
host neos all 10.42.112.0/24 ldap ldapserver=ipaddress ldapprefix="cn=" ldapsuffix=", ou=Users, ou=xxxx, dc=yyy,
dc=local"
The first uses a special account for connecting and looking for
sAMAccountName before checking credentials, the second one connect
directly with specified credentials.
Please note, that beside importing all databases, you should also
import "globals" that contains all role definitions.
More info, for postgres 9.3, on the web site
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/auth-methods.html#AUTH-LDAP
More info about moving globals
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/app-pg-dumpall.html
Please note that postgresql connect to AD, it is not the other way
around.
Bye,
Giuseppe
