Yes, but it's not harder to have many db users vs many app users. There's even an extension to sync pg users with ldap

I'm not saying it's _hard_, it's just _different_ and would be a challenging migration for established apps as I don't know of any framework's authentication system that works like that.

Also, why would you sync pg users in ldap? pg can auth against ldap.

I figured out why: To pull roles/groups into the database from ldap.
