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.
Uncommment out KRBVERS=5 in Makefile.global.in.
Run configure, 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.
