need help configuring PAM + Postgres

madkris

i have already installed postgresql-8.2.4 on fedora core 6 using the following steps.
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --with-pam
make
make install

it was successfully installed but i have no idea whether or not there is still something to be done.😕

Have you read the part of the postgresql docs on authentication, specifically about LDAP and PAM:

Authentication

Note that most folks recommend using PAM-LDAP for authentication.

Thanks for the link. I was just working with PG-LDAP authentication over the weekend.

That site for for backending LDAP with Postgresql. Not quite the same thing you were looking for.

madkris

yea,im hopeless.
i found a couple of links which i think is what i am looking for but sadly i have yet to figure out how to configure it properly

gremlin.it
libpam-pgsql
auth postgresql

I need to build a server with PostgreSql as backend which will authenticate remote user access via pam, in short i want to use user accounts in a postgres database for system authentication.Any idea?
