Is it possible to authenticate with Postgres from a
standalone application using gssapi? In other words, I am able to authenticate
with Postgres when a human has logged in to either Windows or Linux and
generated a ticket, but is it possible for say a Django site or Java
application running on some server somewhere to authenticate with Postgres
using gssapi? I realize that psycopg2 has a connection parameter for “krbsrvname”,
but how does it generate a ticket? Is this the only alternative to secure authentication since Postgres does not support secure ldap (ldaps)?
