Hey, I have a system which connects to a microsoft active directory for authentication of users. Now i have a postgres database back end. Now for users to connect to the database i make a JDBC call from my front end. I am trying to connect my postgres database to an active directory ie Microsoft server, using LDAP.From the documentation, i understand that for the database to authenticate users of a active directory using LDAP,the user has to be on the postgres database. Is this true? Or is it like this that, we can add users to the active directory server, and once we connect to the database using JDBC, we can pass the user credentials and can the authentication mechanism of postgres directly pass these credentials to the active directory server for authenticate? in other words will the change on the active directory automatically allow me to access the database without having to create a user manually on postgres. Please do let me know. Thanks. SriHarsha Angara
