The problem is, I don't have a password available in php.
The users are authenticated with x509 certificats and a private key, not a password. The private key is stored on a smartcard and never leaves it, the smartcard itself handles the authentication with apache.
Problem now is, I want to authenticate the user with postgresql, to be able to log what the user is doing in postgresql itself.
But I don't have a password to authenticate the user.
Thought about using a Kerberos ticket in postgresql, but don't know how to setup this.
