Cindy, That's interesting that they're using a database for authentication; Trac doesn't seem to support it natively, so I imagine your coworkers are using a plugin alongside tracd and PostgreSQL.
As for your question, I unfortunately don't have any experience with configuring PostgreSQL, so I can't really help you decide between IDENT and md5. Experimenting with PostgreSQL is still on my list of projects for this summer. Good luck, ~Paul Malmsten On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 12:41 PM, Nelson, Cynthia L. < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Paul, > > Another question.
