Hi All;

We have an application running via a utility that want's clear text
passwords stored in it's config files. I know we can setup ident mapping
but the app doesn't play nice with password prompt requests. We could
set it's connections to trust but it kinda defeats the purpose security
wise.

Any thoughts on best/common practices per connecting to postgres
securely without an interactive password prompt

Thanks in advance
