LDAP Authentication Support for PostgreSQL
As a database administrator or developer,
I would like to integrate LDAP authentication with PostgreSQL,
So that user management becomes centralized through existing LDAP services like ActiveDirectory, enhancing security, simplifying authentication, and eliminating the need for separate authentication methods.

This feature should be simple to implement (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/auth-ldap.html).
This would improve the user management of the databases, applying the password policies in the AD like the complexity, password rotation, etc...
In addition, in the event a user leaves the company, disabling the user in the AD would automatically disable the access to the databases, which is very important in terms of security.
