21.14. BSD Authentication

+ This authentication method operates similarly to + password except that it uses BSD Authentication + to verify the password. BSD Authentication is used only + to validate user name/password pairs. Therefore the user's role must + already exist in the database before BSD Authentication can be used + for authentication. The BSD Authentication framework is currently + only available on OpenBSD. +

+ BSD Authentication in PostgreSQL uses + the auth-postgresql login type and authenticates with + the postgresql login class if that's defined + in login.conf. By default that login class does not + exist, and PostgreSQL will use the default login class. +

Note

+ To use BSD Authentication, the PostgreSQL user account (that is, the + operating system user running the server) must first be added to + the auth group. The auth group + exists by default on OpenBSD systems. +
