Wiki / Configuration Parameters
krb_server_keyfile
Sets the location of the server's Kerberos key file. The default is FILE:/usr/local/pgsql/etc/krb5.keytab (where the directory part is whatever was specified as sysconfdir at build time; use pg_config --sysconfdir to determine that). If this parameter is set to an empty string, it is ignored and a system-dependent default is used. This parameter can only be set in the postgresql.conf file or on the server command line. See Section 20.6 for more information.
English manual coverage begins with PostgreSQL 7.4. Source history and runtime observations have their own recorded version boundaries.
