Yes this is a complete windows installation of Postgres and they will use ad-login account into the database

Hi!
Is it only to config in hba.conf the connection info, to use AD-accounts to login in postgres.

Hi,

Short answer: No!

SSPI using AD accounts for authentication works only in a complete Windows environment. The client and the server machine have to be member of the same AD environment, which isn't possible for non-Windows machines. Otherwise, there is no trust between the machines.

An automatic creation of PostgreSQL roles from AD accounts has to be done outside PostgreSQL, i. e. by a script running regularly.

A couple of years ago, I wrote such a script for a customer.

Regards,

Holger
