Subject: Segmentation fault on FreeBSD with GSSAPI authentication
Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2024 13:45:23 +0100
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

Hi All,

I am trying to use GSSAPI (Kerberos auth) on FreeBSD.

After several attempts I was able to build PostgreSQL 16 from FreeBSD ports with GSSAPI support. The steps were:
1. Uninstall Heimdal
2. Install krb5 (MIT Kerberos)
3. Build Pg with GSSAPI support

I configured pg_hba.conf to require GSSAPI authentication for one of the users.

When trying to connect using “psql -h postgres” (postgres is the name of the host) I get:

psql: error: connection to server at “postgres.[domainname]” ([ipaddress]), port 5432 failed: connection to server at “postgres.[domainname]” ([ipaddress]), port 5432 failed: server closed the connection unexpectedly
	This probably means the server terminated abnormally
	before or while processing the request.

Configured Pg to debug log and here are the relevant syslog entries:

I am not familiar enough with FreeBSD to be able to gather any crash dumps or backtraces, I am afraid.
