Hi Willy and Raghu, I rebuild from source code with kerberos/gssapi support, and changed to use 'gss' authentication method, it works now :)!
Thanks very much for your kindly help.

The pg_config utility prints configuration parameters of the currently installed version of PostgreSQL --configure Print the options that were given to the configure script when PostgreSQL was configured for building. This can be used to reproduce the identical configuration, or to find out with what options a binary package was built. --Raghu Ram WBL On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 2:11 PM, Willy-Bas Loos <willy...@gmail.com<mailto:willy...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi, I'm not quite sure but it probably means that postgresql was not built with kerberos 5 support. That would make sense if you are using a binary install (did not compile from source), because of the notice at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/auth-methods.html#KERBEROS-AUTH "Note: Native Kerberos authentication has been deprecated and should be used only for backward compatibility. New and upgraded installations are encouraged to use the industry-standard GSSAPI authentication method (see Section 19.3.3) instead." hth, WBL On Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 5:44 PM, <yandong....@emc.com<mailto:yandong....@emc.com>> wrote: Hi Guys, I tried to setup kerberos authentication with postgresql 8.4.7 on Ubuntu 10.10.

Besides, is there any more howto/doc on integrate kerberos and postgresql besides the official documentation at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/client-authentication.html?
