Re: GSSAPI Authentication for pgadmin4 macOS client

Tom,

I wasn't able to get pgadmin4 working with the symlinks, but I'm not very
knowledgeable about libraries.

But that's not a problem. I appreciate everyone diagnosing the issue. I'll
reach out the pgsql-admin forum to see if there's a simple workaround or if
a GSSAPI-enabled pgadmin4 client is in the pipeline. If not, I have other
GUI or CLI programs I can use.

Regards,

Sean
