[Qgis-user] GSSAPI Support under OSX

[William Kyngesburye]

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.

This works from a Windows 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.
