Thread: Clusters and shared permissions using LDAP

Hi all! I'm trying to build three postgres clusters (in different servers), I'm thinking to use CITUS to make the data available across the clusters, I'm checking the docs.

What I have not been able to found in any place, is how to handle the permissions, I can use LDAP to handle the shared credentials across the clusters, I have not experience with LDAP but is no problem with learning :)

So, how can I handle the permissions? From what I have read, seems LDAP only handle user/pass, is there any way to make all the clusters to have the same permissions to the LDAP users?

In the time, I'll add more servers to this, so handle server by server all the permissions to each user is not a nice way to handle it.

Probs this is already solved somehow, but I can't find it.

As you said, LDAP only deals with authentication not authorization.

If you want to implement security using PostgreSQL, then you will have to replicate the DDL, GRANTS, memberships, etc

Thx!
