+Regression tests for authentication
+===================================
+
+This directory contains a test suite for authentication. SSL certificate
+authentication tests are kept separate, in src/test/ssl/, because they
+are more complicated, and are not safe to run in a multi-user system.
+
+
+Running the tests
+=================
+
+NOTE: You must have given the --enable-tap-tests argument to configure.
+
+Run
+ make check
+or
+ make installcheck
+You can use "make installcheck" if you previously did "make install".
+In that case, the code in the installation tree is tested. With
+"make check", a temporary installation tree is built from the current
+sources and then tested.
+
+Either way, this test initializes, starts, and stops a test Postgres
+cluster.
+
+See src/test/perl/README for more info about running these tests.
