= Use LDAP permissions in PostgreSQL

* https://github.com/larskanis/pg-ldap-sync

== DESCRIPTION:

PostgreSQL offers different authentication methods, like LDAP, SSPI, GSSAPI or SSL.
For any method the user must already exist in the database, before
the authentication can be used. LDAP is often used to do a centralized
user and role management in an enterprise environment.

This program synchronizes users, groups and memberships from LDAP to
PostgreSQL.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* Use Active Directory as LDAP-Server
* Configurable per YAML config file

== SYNOPSIS:

  pg_ldap_sync -vv -t

== REQUIREMENTS:

* Installed Ruby and rubygems
* LDAP- and PostgreSQL-Server

== INSTALL:

Install Ruby and rubygems:
* http://rubyinstaller.org/ on Windows
* <tt>apt-get install ruby rubygems</tt> on Debian

* <tt>gem install pg-ldap-sync postgres-pr</tt>
