active directory IS a sort of ldap. I'd be looking at connecting
apache to that AD too, and not trying to do it via postgres. associating
a postgres connection with each HTTP client session would be inefficent
and ugly, especially as http can have multiple threads for a single
client session, yet http is considered sessionless.
