Re: [BUG] SSPI authentication fails on Windows when server parameter is localhost or domain name

Hi,<br /><br />My apologies for a very late reply.<br /><br />I agree the fix you applied is a better one. I have
verifiedthe fix by testing the 'postgresql-9.1.1-1-windows-x64' installer.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br /><br /><div

analysis!<br/><br /> However, I think there is a better fix for this - simply moving a }<br /> one line. In particular,
I'mconcerned about passing the same pointer<br /> both as input and output to the function - I couldn't find anything
in<br/> the documentation saying this was safe (nor did I find anything saying<br /> it's unsafe, but.) Especially
sincethis code clearly behaves<br /> different on different versions - I've been completely unable to<br /> reproduce
thison any of my test machines, but they are all Windows<br /> Server 2003.<br /><br /> So - attached is a new version
ofthe patch, how does this look to<br /> you? FYI, I've had Thom test this new version and it does appear to<br /> work
finein his scenario.<br /><font color="#888888"><br /><br /> --<br />  Magnus Hagander<br />  Me: <a
