Re: Dynamic configuration via LDAP in postmaster

<div dir="ltr">Thank you for the advice, nowadays we(company where I work) use such scheme but that scheme is not
alwaysuseful at the stage of development of the back-end infrastructure. Also we have found a better solution : have
ldapfor dynamic configuraion out of the box.<br /><br />So question is following: if you got such task, where do you
putldap functionality inside postgres daemon?<br /><br />PS I have read the basics of ideology Posgresql and I know why
youguys make main server tiny in functionality and this is great, but we would like to have more complex solution.<br
