LDAP authentication for PostgreSQL

[john m]

Hi,

We're using Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL.

Is it possible to use LDAP to authenticate users?

I found this section in the PostgreSQL documentation:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/client-authentication.html

It seems that we need access to pg_hba.conf is that possible with Cloud SQL?

Hello,

It is currently not possible to use LDAP authentication in PostgreSQL. However, I have found an open feature request for this on the issue tracker website [1]. I suggest you star it to get email updates. In addition, users have no access to pg_hba.conf in Cloud SQL.
