Bug reference:      5195
Logged by:          Chris Arensdorf
Email address:      chris.arensdorf@gdc4s.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4
Operating system:   Linux RedHat 5.3
Description:        PKI Certificate Authentication Implementation
Details:

Currently the only certificate authentication is done through SSL.  I was
wondering if you were planning on implementing a PKI Certificate
Authentication feature required when logging into the database.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but I think you mean use the
certificate to authenticate to the database, and not just as an extra
step of validation? If so, it's already in PostgreSQL 8.4, and you
just need to upgrade.
