I noticed somewhat to my surprise as I was prepping the tests for the
"match the whole DN" patch that pg_ident.conf is parsed using the same
routines used for pg_hba.conf, and as a result the DN almost always
needs to be quoted, because they almost all contain a comma e.g.
"O=PGDG,OU=Testing". Even if we didn't break on commas we would probably
need to quote most of them, because it's very common to include spaces
Maybe we should add a comment at the top of the file about when quoting
is needed.
Yes, that is a good place to point that out. Possibly it would also be
worth to add something in 20.2, including an example?
