Thread: PostgreSQL pam ldap document

All,

    I visited #postgresql @ FreeNode and asked about how to make pg use pam
about a week ago (specifically I wanted to auth against LDAP).  I was
told to figure it out and write a doc...

Here is my attempt at doing so:  http://itc.musc.edu/wiki/PostGreSQL

Please review for accuracy and/or proofreading.

Thanks,

Adrian

I get a "not exists" error on that URL.

I assume you looked at:

    http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/auth-methods.html#AUTH-PAM

Do you have additions to it?

http://itc.musc.edu/wiki/PostgreSQL

(only 4 capital letters) works.

Sorry, I renamed the URL after someone pointed out the correct spelling.
  This was a link to the old one.  I apologize for the confusion, the
right URL is:

http://itc.musc.edu/wiki/PostgreSQL

Yes, I did look at it.  No offense to the original author, but my doc
has a lot more than the four sentences that are there.  I was hoping it
would help others in my situation.  Again any and all
comments/questions/blah are appreciated.

Thanks,

Adrian
