[GENERAL] radius authentication

2004-09-06 Thread Chris Ochs
Has anyone ever taken a look at adding radius authentication to Postgresql? I know it's not terribly secure in itself, but some 2 factor authentication schemes like Cryptocard use it for verifying one time passwords, and at least in our case having 2 factor authentication for remote access would b

I have been able to crash the server a few times with the following function when it is called on a user and schema that was recently deleted. Following is a log of what happened and also the function that was called. This is 7.4.3 on Freebsd 5.2.1. It doesn't always panic when it encounters a

It doesn't currently seem possible to switch between different users using SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION. If I log in as the superuser and switch to another user that works, but if I then switch to a second user in succession I get permission denied when I try to select from a table that the user doe

2004-06-15 Thread Chris Ochs
What if SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION could also accept a password so that non superusers could switch to a different user? How difficult would this be? One nice side benefit to this would be that you could effectively connect as many users with Apache::DBI under mod perl without having an open conn

I still have to respectfully disagree. Postgresql is IMO just the wrong software for the job, and given that there are still a number of really important things that postgresql lacks, it should concentrate on those.I am not against it however for technical reasons, because those things can alw
