Is anybody aware of how to encrypt bind password for ldap authentication
in pg_hba.conf. Anonymous bind is disabled in our organization so we
have to use bind ID and password but to keep them as plaintext in
pg_hba.conf defeat security purposes. We want to either encrypt it or
authenticate without binding. Any insights into this is appreciated.

You can use the "simple bind" method that is described in the
documentation. That one doesn't involve a second bind step.
