I did a test on Ubuntu 11.04, postgreql 9.0.4.1 - 32 bit installer, on non LDAP authenticated desktop.
mi@mi-d525:/opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin$ ./pg_config --configure '--with-libs=/usr/local/lib' '--with-includes=/usr/local/include' '--prefix=/mnt/buildfarm/pginstaller/server/staging/linux' '--with-openssl' '--with-perl' '--with-python' '--with-tcl' '--with-tclconfig=/opt/ActiveTcl-8.5/lib' '--with-pam' '--with-krb5' '--enable-thread-safety' '--with-libxml' '--with-ossp-uuid' '--docdir=/mnt/buildfarm/pginstaller/server/staging/linux/doc/postgresql' '--with-libxslt' '--with-libedit-preferred' Looks like no --with-ldap option, but there is --with-openssl option. I will trying with configure-make-install from source. FYI, I use ds from Centos/Fedora. >From this documentation, I think the second method of LDAP authentication will fit for my purpose. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/auth-methods.html Regards, Teguh 2011/5/20 Mark Johnson <m...@remingtondatabasesolutions.com> > > > I too have been looking into this as a new user of PostgreSQL 9.0. > > 1.
