Thread: authentication methods sections
I find that the section authentication methods <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/auth-methods.html> is becoming harder to read and navigate, because we keep adding authentication methods and more information about them, and it's all on one HTML page. I propose to move those sections up one level in the hierarchy so they end up on separate HTML pages. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

+1, that definitely seems like a good idea.

Wouldn't it be more simple to just remove "Authentication Methods" if the current layer is kept? -- Michael
