Yes this is a complete windows installation of Postgres and they will use ad-login account into the database

Hi!Is it only to config in hba.conf the connection info, to use AD-accounts to login in postgres.This is a windows/postres intallation 🤦♂️✌️
Mvh Pär+46706069645Hi,
Short answer: No!
SSPI using AD accounts for authentication works only in a complete Windows environment. The client and the server machine have to be member of the same AD environment, which isn't possible for non-Windows machines. Otherwise, there is no trust between the machines.
An automatic creation of PostgreSQL roles from AD accounts has to be done outside PostgreSQL, i. e. by a script running regularly.
A couple of years ago, I wrote such a script for a customer.

Holger
If that's the case, create all the necessary roles (groups, users) in PostgreSQL matching entries in pg_hba.conf and mapping entries in pg_ident, so that Windows users can connect to the database without needing to authenticate again.
It's a nice way of providing single sign-on.
Regards,
Holger
