[Qgis-user] GSSAPI Support under OSX

[Garbin, David]

Thanks for the reply.  I'll look forward to a Mac QGIS version with a
GSSAPI-enabled libpq and will report on how it works.

Qgis and pgadmin3 use separate copies of libpq, but you are still
probably right.  I know I don't build my Postgres GSSAPI - it doesn't
appear to be a default-on configure option, and I never bothered to look
into what it is.  Very likely whoever built the Mac version of pgadmin3
did the same with their libpq.

I do include Kerberos, which appears to be related.  I could easily add
GSSAPI in my next Postgres build (I see 8.4.3 is out, so it should be
soon), though it will probably only appear in my Qgis dev builds and not
1.4.

version of QGIS , but the OSX binary version gives a "GSSAPI
Authentication not supported" error.  A binary download of pgamin3 also
gives the same error, so I suspect a common libpq problem.  GSSAPI
authentication is working fine for SSH clients on the same machine.
