Re: Question about GSSAPI

Chris,

Here is what I installed.

postgresql91-9.1.0-2PGDG.f15.x86_64
postgresql91-devel-9.1.0-2PGDG.f15.x86_64
postgresql91-contrib-9.1.0-2PGDG.f15.x86_64
postgresql91-libs-9.1.0-2PGDG.f15.x86_64
postgresql91-server-9.1.0-2PGDG.f15.x86_64

and here is the output of pg_config

[pgarner@localhost ~]$ /usr/pgsql-9.1/bin/pg_config --configure
'--enable-rpath' '--prefix=/usr/pgsql-9.1'
'--includedir=/usr/pgsql-9.1/include'
'--mandir=/usr/pgsql-9.1/share/man' '--datadir=/usr/pgsql-9.1/share'
'--with-perl' '--with-python' '--with-tcl' '--with-tclconfig=/usr/lib64'
'--with-openssl' '--with-pam' '--with-krb5' '--with-gssapi'
'--with-includes=/usr/include' '--with-libraries=/usr/lib64'
'--enable-nls' '--with-ossp-uuid' '--with-libxml' '--with-libxslt'
'--with-ldap' '--with-system-tzdata=/usr/share/zoneinfo'
'--sysconfdir=/etc/sysconfig/pgsql' '--docdir=/usr/share/doc'
'CFLAGS=-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions
-fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic
-I/usr/include/et' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed' 'CPPFLAGS= -I/usr/include/et'

and I do see --with-gssapi, which is awesome!

I did read through the pgsql manual and there are no examples on how to
implement gssapi authentication against pgsql.  Might you be able to
point me to documentation?  I am using Tomcat7 and my web application is
able to connect to pgsql using "trust" authentication.

Thanks for the information on pg_config.

Pat
