Hi, I’m new to PostGres (so go easy on my naivety). I am
trying to configure the postgres host based configuration file to permit users
to authenticate against our Active Directory. Needless to say both Ubuntu server and AD are in the same
Domain. ·
I am running PostGRESQL v8.3.7 on a 64-Bit
Ubuntu Hardy Heron Dell server with Apache 2. ·
I am not running SSL. ·
This work is happening on a LAN. My AD
server=master1 and the LAN=belfry.lan ·
I installed Postgres as follow: o
#
sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.3 postgresql-client-8.3
postgresql-client-common postgresql-common It runs just fine and I can create databases users and
tables with no problems. Currently, the end of my pg_hba.conf file looks like: ============================================ # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 host all all 10.5.5.0 255.255.255.0 password # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 md5 # Remote TCP/IP connection #host all postgres 127.0.0.1/32 password # host all all 10.5.5.0/16 ldap
"ldap://master1:389/dc=belfry,dc=lan;BELFRY\" # host all all 10.5.5.0 255.255.255.0 ldap
"ldap://master1:389/dc=belfry,dc=lan;BELFRY\" host all all 10.5.5.0 255.255.255.0 ldap
"ldap://master1. belfry.lan:389/ou=Belfry Users,ou=programmers;dc=belfry,dc=lan;cn=*;BELFRY\" ============================================= Each time I change it I stop and start PostGres. I created a testuser and a test database. The user,
testuser exists in my Active directory with a different password. I can
connect as testuser to the DB via command line or via pgAdmin111 with the postgres
password for testuser. When I try to connect using the users LDAP password I
always get: ·
psql: FATAL: password authentication failed
for user testuser Three days into this I am none the wiser - I’m
exhausting Google servers. Can anyone tell me what I have forgotten to do or have
overlooked in getting this setup correctly? To my mind it’s behaving as
though it’s not honoring anything I have put in the pg_hba.conf for
Remote TCP/IP connections. I have to be missing something super simple…..
a postgres-ldap add-on for Postgres on Ubuntu perhaps? I set connections to debug2 in the logs. Debug5 was giving
me hundreds of lines of “blah”. Tail of logs now looks like: ============================================= 2009-08-04 16:49:15 PDT DEBUG: proc_exit(0) 2009-08-04 16:49:15 PDT DEBUG: shmem_exit(0) 2009-08-04 16:49:15 PDT DEBUG: exit(0) 2009-08-04 16:49:15 PDT DEBUG: server process (PID 8637)
