Hi,

No matter what i try, at startup of pgpool i get the log entry "LOG:  invalid authentication method "ldap" if i have method ldap configure on the pool_hba.conf and naturally the authentication will fail with error "missing or erroneous pool_hba.conf file"

"LOG:  invalid authentication method "ldap" suggests that the pgpool was built without LDAP support.

> I really need to be able to access control from what host the connection are coming from, is it possible to get ldap working from a RPM installed pgpool or is it only available when installing from source using the --with-ldap option?

Pgpool-II official RPM supports LDAP.
