user authentications

Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone tried to do user authentication already using
the user and password combination of the database users instead of storing
them in a table with username and password?  If so, can someone explain
how it was done?

You can pass it through the pg_connect function.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-connect.php

That would lead to my question concerning this.  Which is better,
pg_connect or pg_pconnect?  I seem to get better results when I use
pconnect when the db is on a different server than the web server but when
they are both on the same server connect works fine.  Any suggestions?

I have used many different methods for authentication.  PHP and postgres can support many of the 'now in use' authentications.  I have used generic authentication to encrypted authentication.  What are you trying to do when you are authenticating.
