<span class="productname">SSPI</span> is a <span class="productname">Windows</span>
technology for secure authentication with single sign-on.
<span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> will use SSPI in
<code class="literal">negotiate</code> mode, which will use
<span class="productname">Kerberos</span> when possible and automatically
fall back to <span class="productname">NTLM</span> in other cases.
<span class="productname">SSPI</span> authentication only works when both
server and client are running <span class="productname">Windows</span>,
or, on non-Windows platforms, when <span class="productname">GSSAPI</span>
is available.
</p><p>
When using <span class="productname">Kerberos</span> authentication,
<span class="productname">SSPI</span> works the same way
<span class="productname">GSSAPI</span> does; see <a class="xref" href="gssapi-auth.html" title="20.6. GSSAPI Authentication">Section 20.6</a>
for details.
</p><p>
The following configuration options are supported for <span class="productname">SSPI</span>:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">include_realm</code></span></dt><dd><p>
If set to 0, the realm name from the authenticated user principal is
stripped off before being passed through the user name mapping
(<a class="xref" href="auth-username-maps.html" title="20.2. User Name Maps">Section 20.2</a>). This is discouraged and is
primarily available for backwards compatibility, as it is not secure
in multi-realm environments unless <code class="literal">krb_realm</code> is
also used. It is recommended to
leave <code class="literal">include_realm</code> set to the default (1) and to
provide an explicit mapping in <code class="filename">pg_ident.conf</code> to convert
principal names to <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> user names.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">compat_realm</code></span></dt><dd><p>
If set to 1, the domain's SAM-compatible name (also known as the
NetBIOS name) is used for the <code class="literal">include_realm</code>
option. This is the default. If set to 0, the true realm name from
the Kerberos user principal name is used.
</p><p>
Do not disable this option unless your server runs under a domain
account (this includes virtual service accounts on a domain member
system) and all clients authenticating through SSPI are also using
domain accounts, or authentication will fail.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">upn_username</code></span></dt><dd><p>
If this option is enabled along with <code class="literal">compat_realm</code>,
the user name from the Kerberos UPN is used for authentication. If
it is disabled (the default), the SAM-compatible user name is used.
By default, these two names are identical for new user accounts.
</p><p>
Note that <span class="application">libpq</span> uses the SAM-compatible name if no
explicit user name is specified. If you use
<span class="application">libpq</span> or a driver based on it, you should
leave this option disabled or explicitly specify user name in the
connection string.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">map</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Allows for mapping between system and database user names. See
<a class="xref" href="auth-username-maps.html" title="20.2. User Name Maps">Section 20.2</a> for details. For a SSPI/Kerberos
principal, such as <code class="literal">username@EXAMPLE.COM</code> (or, less
commonly, <code class="literal">username/hostbased@EXAMPLE.COM</code>), the
user name used for mapping is
<code class="literal">username@EXAMPLE.COM</code> (or
<code class="literal">username/hostbased@EXAMPLE.COM</code>, respectively),
unless <code class="literal">include_realm</code> has been set to 0, in which case
<code class="literal">username</code> (or <code class="literal">username/hostbased</code>)
is what is seen as the system user name when mapping.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">krb_realm</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Sets the realm to match user principal names against. If this parameter
is set, only users of that realm will be accepted. If it is not set,
users of any realm can connect, subject to whatever user name mapping
is done.
