Right.  This means that for the particular combination of access method,
client host, user and database, the corresponding line in pg_hba.conf
specifies ident authentiaction.  This is no use for web-based
applications, where the ident user is always the user who is running the
web-server.  Remember that the *first* matching line in pg_hba.conf is
the one that applies; also remember to reload/restart postgresql after
changing that file.
