Not really. You can use SSH forwarding of the connection, and use the public key authentication for that one. Or you can use Kerberos 5 - while not public key authentication, it may accomplish what you wanted. You can also request that the client has a client certificate on a SSL connection, but you cannot map client certificates to user account so anybody who has a valid client cert by your CA can connect then. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
