Yeah, I was thinking that the ideal would to be to make this generically pluggable, like giving the ability to use a unix socket or executable call for pgpass instead of only looking at a file. I don't think we should implement any particular wallet technology, just make it possible to call an external application. I think implementing our own wallet would be a big mistake. I'm not sure how broad the actual use case for this is -- most folks with sophisticated password needs use AD or LDAP -- but if someone wants to write the code, I'd be for accepting it. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
