Обсуждение: Authentification via Kerberos with ProxyTicket

Hi *

We have a new web-app in our intranet and a existing database (Postgre 8). The user is login on web-app by Kerberos
(SSO). Now it's important to delegate the user ticket to database because every user has a  database user. Is there a
way to authentificate via Kerberos with ProxyTicket? I have to go this way (says my chief architect).

Have someone a link or an document with more information about ProxyTicket and Postgre?

thx
Tobias

Under PostgreSQL version numbering a major release number includes
the first digit past the decimal point, so you could be talking
about any of five major releases.

If you're on 8.4, the documentation you want is probably here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/auth-methods.html#GSSAPI-AUTH
