Is it possible to authenticate with Postgres from astandalone application using gssapi? In other words, I am able to authenticatewith Postgres when a human has logged in to either Windows or Linux andgenerated a ticket, but is it possible for say a Django site or Javaapplication running on some server somewhere to authenticate with Postgresusing gssapi? I realize that psycopg2 has a connection parameter for “krbsrvname”,but how does it generate a ticket? Is this the only alternative to secure authentication since Postgres does not support secure ldap (ldaps)?
