You should use Kerberos for authentication, using LDAP isn't a good idea
because the PG server will see the user's password.

Yes, it works fine, just generate a keytab and copy it to somewhere that
the PG server can see it.  If you're in an active directory environment
then this requires a bit more than just an addprinc/ktadd, there's a
blog post I wrote about doing it here:
