The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4126 Logged by: Peter Koczan Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.3.1 Operating system: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Description: KRB5/GSSAPI authenication fails for multipart kerberos principals Details:
When trying to connect to an 8.3 server using a multipart Kerberos principal (e.g. ator/[EMAIL PROTECTED] or koczan/[EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]), the connection fails, claiming a name mismatch. This is a change from 8.2 and I found nothing in the changelog or documentation to suggest this change or offer a workaround. This happens no matter what client libraries I'm using (I'll connect using 8.3 clients only to illustrate this point). Here's what happens with a normal login principal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ klist Ticket cache: FILE:/var/adm/krb5/tmp/tkt/krb5cc_3258_zWQIbO Default principal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...
