Re: LDAP authentication

It is true that you have to create the users on PostGreSQL level too.

But once they are created on PG-level, PAM does work fine.

I had the same problem. I create a utility that synchronises the
postgresql users/groups with LDAP. It is not done automatically. You
have to invoke a function for it.

It is pretty ugly for the moment, it was my first experience writing
C-functions for PostGreSQL. I am rewriting it for PostGreSQL 7.3b2,
which has a way nicer API for outputting tables in C.
It does indeed consist of some C and some PLPGSQL functions.

If you're interested, please shoot me an email ...
