The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/auth-pg-hba-conf.html
Description:
"This option is supported for all authentication methods that receive
external user names."
More properly, the authentication methods supported are: ident, peer,
gassapi, sspi, and cert.
LDAP is not supported and attempting to use map with LDAP provides the
following error:
'authentication option ""map"" is only valid for authentication methods
ident, peer, gssapi, sspi, and cert'

This is correct. LDAP authentication does not receive external usernames.
It uses an external service to validate the password, but it gets the
username from the client.
