SGV Linux Users Group - PostgreSQL Authentication Mechanisms.

PostgreSQL is the only open source database that supports identifying users with either of the non-password standards, and the ability to do it on both Windows and Unix platforms. Henry Hotz will illustrate how to make use of each, and discuss the security implications of using better authentication mechanisms.

SGVLUG is one of the oldest and most active Linux User Groups in the Greater Los Angeles area. In addition to Linux, the group also shares interests in other free and open source software, all forms of technology, and the discussion of issues that arise with the these new tools, such as privacy rights. SGVLUG attracts members from throughout LA County including Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, and eastward throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Our members include software developers, system administrators, hardware engineers, and software users of all levels of experience.
