Edit postgresql-7.0RC5/src/Makefile.global.in. Change PG_KRB_SRVTAB to
somewhere useful for you, and PG_KRB_SRVNAM to whatever you want your
postgres kerberos service called.
make and install PostgreSQL.
Generate the keytab (PG_KRB_SRVTAB): kadmin% ank -randkey
postgres/server.my.domain.org kadmin% ktadd -k krb5.keytab
postgres/server.my.domain.org
Make sure the keytab is read-only to the postgres user. Make sure your
client binaries can see the new libraries.
edit pg_hba.conf and change the authentication method to krb5.
Everything should then work. If you use mod_auth_krb and mod_perl on
your web server, you can use AuthType KerberosV5SaveCredentials with a
mod_perl script. This gives secure database access over the web. No
extra passwords required.
