People,
After writing dblink-ldap (http://pgfoundry.org/projects/dblink-ldap), several people have contacted me asking if this will give LDAP authentication to PostgreSQL, because they need this. And this is before I've even released it, so apparantly there are a lot of people who want this. You can do this today using PAM authenication, but this is not always possible. Notably it's never possible on Windows, and there are several unix platforms/distros that don't support it without a lot of work. It should be fairly easy to write a LDAP "backend" to password authentication using openldap, winldap or whatever ldap library is available. Before I start working on anything I'd like to check if a patch for this would be accepted? //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
