I'm trying to get my PostgreSQL server on Linux configured so that I can connect from a Windows client using GSS Authentication against Active Directory. I found some helpful references on how to do this, but I'm still coming up short. To summarize what I've done so far by way of configuration:
1) On the Linux server, setup my krb5.conf file such that I can get a ticket from AD using kinit and confirm using klist.
2) Setup a new account in AD and used ktpass to create a keytab file for the SPN.
3) Copied the keytab file onto my postgres server and updated my postgresql.conf file appropriately (set the krb_server_keyfile to point to the file I just created.)
Then I wrote a little test Perl program to connect to my postgres database.
use DBI;
use strict;
my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:Pg:dbname=postgres;host=host.domain.com;krbsrvname=POSTGRES') or die DBI->errstr;
When I try to run the Perl program I get this error:
DBI connect('dbname=postgres;host=host.domain.com;krbsrvname=POSTGRES')
failed: FATAL: accepting GSS security context failed
DETAIL: Miscellaneous failure: Unknown code ggss 3 at g.pl line 4
FATAL: accepting GSS security context failed
DETAIL: Miscellaneous failure: Unknown code ggss 3 at g.pl line 4
I then ramped up the debug logging on the postgres side and get this off the server:
2010-06-11 17:23:49 EDTDEBUG: 00000: Processing received GSS token of length 2119

I'm using PostgreSQL 8.4.4 on Enterprise Linux 4.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
