I've noticed PostgreSQL supports Kerberos authentication. Here is a post from their 8.1 documentation, as well as user comments how to set this up with Microsoft Active Directory.

My question is, if I do all of this will I be able to authenticate with Kerberos using your library ?

For example, using your Enterprise Library Data Access Block provider, the current method of having passwords in config files is not desireable, and the encryption of config files is difficult to administer in a server farm.
