As I understand it, you're in an Active Directory environment, where
what you really want to be using for authentication is Kerberos / GSSAPI,
not LDAP.  With LDAP, the password is still sent to the PG server in
cleartext during the authentication and that's entirely unnecessary in
an Active Directory environment where you have a Kerberos realm already
in place.

Thanks!
