The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/auth-pg-hba-conf.html Description: "This option is supported for all authentication methods that receive external user names." More properly, the authentication methods supported are: ident, peer, gassapi, sspi, and cert. LDAP is not supported and attempting to use map with LDAP provides the following error: 'authentication option ""map"" is only valid for authentication methods ident, peer, gssapi, sspi, and cert'
