Hi ,

for postgresql versions 8.2, 8.3 use this in your pg_hba.conf:

host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ldap /
"ldap://your.domain.com/dc=company,dc=com;uid=;,ou=employees,dc=company,dc=com"

In postgresql 8.4 use this:

host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ldap ldapserver=your.domain.com /
ldapprefix="uid=" ldapsuffix=",ou=employees,dc=company,dc=com"

This is not tested since I don't have ldap support in 8.4. But it's the way it works.

Everything is in one line. You have to set your.domain.com, company, com and employees.

A small hint - please don't forget to reply also to the list ...

Cheers

Andy

P.S.: As I am not a sysadmin, thanks for help goes to Andreas Putzo ;-)
