Thread: SSPI support
What is the support for sspi connections?
I am seeing a crash in the latest release of the driver on PC.
The build from the repository doesn't reproduce, it seems there was a patch last month.
However, when I run 'test connection' from the Windows ODBC Admin on a DSN, it gives a warning that says 'sspi not supported'.
I found an old post (2012) that said sspi was supported in the 64bit version. This was a 32 bit build.
Is that the issue? The connection seem to work, the only problem was the warning when testing the connection.
Thanks

Yes, there is a fix in this area with this commit: commit: 41993dbed1308c019a6e14152adf75162b3386fe author: Hiroshi Inoue <inoue@tpf.co.jp> date: Tue, 24 Jun 2014 12:22:15 +0900 This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference occurring when connecting using SSPI authentication (without kerberos, a local Windows user trying to connect to postgres instance on same host). Patch originally by Nikhil R Deshpande, 1 line added for safety by me. I imagine that we would need asap a new release of the driver. > However, when I run 'test connection' from the Windows ODBC Admin on a DSN, > it gives a warning that says 'sspi not supported'.

Perhaps you have been using a custom build that did not have USE_SSPI set? -- Michael
