Hi Willy and Raghu,

I rebuild from source code with kerberos/gssapi support, and changed to use 'gss' authentication method, it works now :)!

Thanks very much for your kindly help.

Regards,
Yandong

BTW, is there a way to find out what particular configure options were used for any given (binary) installation?




The pg_config utility prints configuration parameters of the currently installed version of PostgreSQL

--configure

Print the options that were given to the configure script when PostgreSQL was configured for building. This can be used to reproduce the identical configuration, or to find out with what options a binary package was built.

Hi,

I'm not quite sure but it probably means that postgresql was not built with kerberos 5 support.
That would make sense if  you are using a binary install (did not compile from source), because of the notice at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/auth-methods.html#KERBEROS-AUTH
"Note: Native Kerberos authentication has been deprecated and should be used only for backward compatibility. New and upgraded installations are encouraged to use the industry-standard GSSAPI authentication method (see Section 19.3.3) instead."

hth,

Hi Guys,

I tried to setup kerberos authentication with postgresql 8.4.7 on Ubuntu 10.10.

When I use:
$ psql –h ubuntu.server –U gavin  dbname

I get following error:
psql: Kerberos 5 authentication not supported.

And from the server side of postgresql, I could see following log:

What does this means and how could I get more verbose logs?

Besides, is there any more howto/doc on integrate kerberos and postgresql besides the official documentation at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/client-authentication.html?


Thanks very much in advance!

Regards,
Yandong
