Hi everybody, I am having a problem with crating user. It has to do with authentication. What I want is to authenticate a user via an ldap server.
I created postgres account by: create user donder with createdb login in group analysis; and added the following line to pg_hba.conf file: host all donder ldap://amarula.egcrc.orgsent sent a hup signal like this: pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data reload When I become user donder to connect to database, this is what I get: psql: FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file HINT: See server log for details. The serverlog says: LOG: invalid IP address "ldap:" in file "/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf" line 55: Name or service not known FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file HINT: See server log for details. I am looking at the manual, PostgreSQL 8.2.1 Documentation, chapter 20. In section 20.2.5, they talk about ldap authentication, but it's a bit sketchy. The example given is: ldap://ldap.example.net/dc=example,dc=net;EXAMPLE\ I have no idea what "dc=" means, and what does ";EXAMPLE\" mean? Can anyone please explain what this means? If you have done what I am trying to do, please furnish a working example. Many thanks. Regards, Tena Sakai [EMAIL PROTECTED]
