Thread: How come drongo didn't fail authentication here?
In commits 7c34555f8/e1bd4990b, I added a new role used by a TAP script but neglected the auth_extra incantation needed to allow login as that role. This should have resulted in SSPI auth failures on certain Windows configurations, and indeed it did on drongo's next run in the v15 branch: https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=drongo&dt=2022-07-27%2022%3A01%3A47 However, its immediately-following run on HEAD succeeded, though I'd obviously not had time to put in the fix yet: https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=drongo&dt=2022-07-27%2022%3A30%3A27 How can that be? Have we somehow broken SSPI authentication in HEAD? regards, tom lane

I see. Seems like we've created a gotcha for ourselves:
a test script can look perfectly fine in Unix-based testing,
and even in Windows CI, and then fail when it hits the back
branches in the buildfarm. Is it worth doing something to
cause the lack of a valid auth_extra spec to fail on Unix?
