Right, this would be how I'd envision it as well. Basically provide a
CA which you trust and then a way to map from DN/CN to PostgreSQL users
(perhaps similar to the ident mapping in implementation?). I'd *also*
like to support full certificate matching (not just the fingerprint...)
but I think doing DN/CN would be a good, easier, first step.
