I have posted this before and have a little more info but am still needing help.
I have PostgreSQL 8.3.1 w32 running on Windows XP sp2 server.
I want to authenticate using sspi for my Windows XP clients (domained) but while creating a DSN, I get an
"authenticationmethod 9 not supported" error message.
Here is a screenshot of the error message on the client while trying to create a DSN:

The error message dialog box pops up after clicking the Test button.
If I change the entry in the pg_hba.conf file to from "sspi" to "trust", I can create the DSN with no problem. But,
usingtrust for multiple users is not secure enough. I am using the latest psqlODBC verson (8.03.01.00).
I have been told that the libpq library (libpq.dll) I have doesn't support the functionality. And, that I need to
build a new libpq.dll with ENABLE_SSPI defined.
However, I am not a programmer and I don't know how to do this.
Can anyone help me?
