I know very little about AD, its kerberos implementation, and
interoperability limitations. I have been using kerberos with postgresql
for years and think it's nearly the holy grail of authentication. I know
that linux can authenticate against AD domains , so I presume that one
could also get postgresql to do so.
Here are two bookmarks that I've saved and that you might find useful:
http://chrisp.de/en/rsrc/kerberos.html
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Authenticating-Linux-Active-Directory.html
If you can make that work, the community might appreciate a summary of
how you did it.
