Re: GSSAPI Authentication Problem

John,

  The ODBC driver can be configured through the ODBC manager and you can
  provide the username that you want to log in as there.  The ODBC
  driver (and the libpq underneath) should still be able to use your
  AD/GSSAPI credentials to authenticate.

      Thanks,

        Stephen
