Does the postgresql-jdbc driver support Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication? If not, what is required to get it done?
Doing a little further reading and testing shows that the server would need to be extended to provide GSSAPI support even though the underlying authentication would be done using Kerberos. Java has Kerberos support, but not the ability to "speak" it directly, only through the GSSAPI interface.
Phil Dodderidge claimed to have this up and working quite some time ago, perhaps he can share some more info...
