Bug reference: 13782
Logged by: John Kew
Email address: jkew(at)tableau(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 9.5beta1
Operating system: Windows 7
Description:

Recently a change was made to set include_realm=1 by default. This is
sensible.

Clients and drivers using libpq, however, default to sending just the
username w/o the realm, leading to a gss username error in these
configurations.

You can force psql and postgres-odbc to use a specific username which
includes the realm; but it would be useful if libpq had the same default as
the server and sent the current realm by default e.g: joe(at)realm(dot)com(dot)

Seems like a minor thing; but it means you can share the same connection
string configuration between users for when postgres is configured the
recommended way.
