Hi, i created a Postgres Server 9.6 on a SLES 12 SP3 box. In our institution we have a Windows ADS which i like to use to authenticate users via LDAP. But because there are several prerequisites to create such an account, which make things sometime complicated, i also like to create "local" users (users defined in the postgres DB itself). Is it possible to use both concurrently ? Some users autheticate via LDAP, others local. >From what i read in the doc it does not seem to work: "Each record specifies a connection type, a client IP address range (if relevant for the connection type), a database name, a user name, and the authentication method to be used for connections matching these parameters. The first record with a matching connection type, client address, requested database, and user name is used to perform authentication. ====> There is no “fall-through” or “backup”: if one record is chosen and the authentication fails, subsequent records are not considered. If no record matches, access is denied. <===== But maybe i misunderstood that.
