Re: GSS Authentication

OK. So, to get it to use a different encryption type, I'm thinking I'd have to specify that when I create the keytab (and then uncheck the Use DES option on the account setup in Windows). So, when I created my keytab, I used a command like this on the AD side:

ktpass -princ POSTGRES/host(dot)domain(dot)com(at)DOMAIN(dot)COM -crypto DES-CBC-MD5 -mapuser host -pass mypasswd -out postgres.keytab

So for the -crypto option, what would be your recommendation for what I should use and would this require changes on the DB server side?

Thanks again.

Great, glad to hear you got it working. Just to reiterate- you really
should be looking at using a 2008 AD with AES encryption types instead
of DES. DES is depreciated and no longer secure given today's
computers.

Thanks,
