Are you in an Active Directory environment? If so, you'd be much better
off using Kerberos/GSSAPI instead of LDAP. There's specific information
about doing that available here:
https://info.crunchydata.com/blog/windows-active-directory-postgresql-gssapi-kerberos-authentication
Note that when using LDAP in this way, the user's password ends up being
sent from the client to the server, so if the PG server is compromised
then user's passwords can end up being exposed, allowing a potential
attacker to then impersonate the user to gain access to other services
in the environment (as that's the user's single-sign-on password...).
Thanks,
