My advice would be to not use secrets stored in the database -

Crikey, that would be  quite a lot of  lot of SSL/TLS to set up. We have quite a few (massive understatement :( ... ) PostgreSQL database clusters spread over quite a lot (another understatement) of VMs.

The last time I suggested LDAP there was a lot of enthusiasm ... until they went down and looked at what might have to be done, after which it all became very quiet ...
