---------------------------------------------------
ident_file (string)

    Specifies the configuration file for Section 20.2, “User Name Maps” user name mapping (customarily called
pg_ident.conf).This parameter can only be set at server start. 
---------------------------------------------------

"Specifies the configuration file for Section 20.2, “User Name Maps”
user name mapping" looks pretty strange to me because a raw section
name appears. This is due to the corresponding SGML coding:

       <para>
         Specifies the configuration file for
         <xref linkend="auth-username-maps"> user name mapping
         (customarily called <filename>pg_ident.conf</>).
         This parameter can only be set at server start.
       </para>

Shouldn't we use a link tag instead of the xref tag here? Attached is
a patch to fix this.

Best regards,
