I know very little about AD, its kerberos implementation, and interoperability limitations. I have been using kerberos with postgresql for years and think it's nearly the holy grail of authentication. I know that linux can authenticate against AD domains , so I presume that one could also get postgresql to do so. Here are two bookmarks that I've saved and that you might find useful: http://chrisp.de/en/rsrc/kerberos.html http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Authenticating-Linux-Active-Directory.html If you can make that work, the community might appreciate a summary of how you did it. -Reece -- Reece Hart, http://harts.net/reece/, GPG:0x25EC91A0 ./universe -G 6.672e-11 -e 1.602e-19 -protonmass 1.673e-27 -uspres bush kernel warning: universe consuming too many resources.
