Hi pgsql-general,
I know that the requirement for replication is that a user be allowed to connect to the "replication" database. My question is how to configure the streaming replication client to use a particular authentication method. I haven't been able to find examples of streaming replication using any authentication other than trust or md5.
Specifically, I'm interested in using kerberos (via gssapi) with a keytab. I'm able to authenticate from the command line with gss after doing kinit, but that's not practical for replication. Can gss authentication be used in replication?
FWIW, I'm using RedHat 7's version of Postgresql 9.2.
Thanks for any hints or advice,
Zach
