BTW, is there a way to find out what particular configure options were used for any given (binary) installation?

Hi,

I'm not quite sure but it probably means that postgresql was not built with kerberos 5 support.
That would make sense if  you are using a binary install (did not compile from source), because of the notice at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/auth-methods.html#KERBEROS-AUTH
"Note: Native Kerberos authentication has been deprecated and should be used only for backward compatibility. New and upgraded installations are encouraged to use the industry-standard GSSAPI authentication method (see Section 19.3.3) instead."

Hi Guys,

I tried to setup kerberos authentication with postgresql 8.4.7 on Ubuntu 10.10.

When I use:
$ psql –h ubuntu.server –U gavin  dbname

I get following error:
psql: Kerberos 5 authentication not supported.

And from the server side of postgresql, I could see following log:

What does this means and how could I get more verbose logs?

Besides, is there any more howto/doc on integrate kerberos and postgresql besides the official documentation at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/client-authentication.html?


Thanks very much in advance!

Regards,
Yandong
