Over at [1] I speculated that it might be a good idea to allow
+grouprole type user names in pg_ident.conf. The use case I have in mind
is where the user authenticates to pgbouncer and then pgbouncer connects
as the user using a client certificate. Without this mechanism that
means that you need a mapping rule for each user in pg_ident.conf, which
doesn't scale very well, but with this mechanism all you have to do is
grant the specified role to users. So here's a small patch for that.
Comments welcome.
cheers
