Is it so stupid question? I can't find it in mail list archive.
Maybe I put wrong words.

When ODBC connect to backend with special parameter it needs to
popup dialog (on windows) to enter (unspecified) username, password,
etc which is needed by backend to authenticate.
But this is againist kerberos (and maybe trust) authentication.

Must I connect to backend myself (not using libpq)? Could you point me
to corresponding libpq code from which I can learn it?

Thanks,
