LDAP AUTH / IDENT question

Hi,

I have an interesting problem I hope to have help with. I am running PgSQL and there is a database user called 'admin' with all privileges and a password 'X' let's say. I am trying to move this server to use the local active directory server for authentication. Now, everyone depends on this 'admin' password being 'X' and there's no way I can simply add the user 'admin' to the AD server because there already is one.

Now, I know you can make a mapping like

System-username database-username

But, if I enable LDAP for all authentications, how does this work?

If I am user Y and I connect using PHP let's say DBConnect('admin', 'X') and I have the mapping that user Y can connect as admin, will it fail because the password was defined locally in pgSQL and not AD? Do I have to login as admin now with my own password and not admin's password?
