That's outside my knowledge, so someone else is going to have to jump in
on this.

It is quite possible this can be done.  I mean, there are 11 different authentication methods mentioned in the documentation.  But the thing is, actually setting up the link between the external authentication method and PostgreSQL takes knowledge and skills outside the normal DBA's skillset and outside the responsibility of PostgreSQL.  It may be that there is information on the Internet, or someone chimes in (though 2 business days without a response means I wouldn't hold my breath), but the documentation is only going to be of limited use - but is important none-the-less.

My suggestion to the OP is to just get password or other PostgreSQL-only authentication working, possibly with the help of PostgreSQL people, and then decide whether the convenience of what is basically single-sign-on is worth the learning curve.
