Is it possible to authenticate with Postgres from a standalone application using gssapi? In other words, I am able to authenticate with Postgres when a human has logged in to either Windows or Linux and generated a ticket, but is it possible for say a Django site or Java application running on some server somewhere to authenticate with Postgres using gssapi? I realize that psycopg2 has a connection parameter for “krbsrvname”, but how does it generate a ticket? Is this the only alternative to secure authentication since Postgres does not support secure ldap (ldaps)?
