Even when possible, I won't recommend it; not for postgres reasons, but for security. If someone compromises the domain account, could gain access to postgres data with no restriction. Unless there is a reason to use a domain account, of source.

Just wondering if it is recommended, or not, to run Postgres as a domain
account on Linux. If not, then why not?

Thank you,

David
