Greetings,

The entire point of peer was to segregate the very insecure 'ident' from
the actually quite secure 'peer' auth, so, no, it's not going to work
over TCP connections- that's more-or-less the point.

Regarding a JDBC connection, you can pass in a "socketFactory", as I
understand it (though I'm no JDBC expert, I'd suggest you address issues
you have with that to the JDBC list):

Thanks,

Stephen
