Any authentication libraries that support PostGre?

I am developing a PostGre-powered CI site and my previously used auth library (DX Auth) does not seem to support PostGre. Any alternatives?

Thanks!

Hi dobomode,

i haven't specifically looked at the db setup for DX Auth, but I'd like to think that you should get pretty much every auth library to work with PostgreSQL. You might have to "translate" any MySQL specific options in the database-scheme (e.g. constraints, sequences, ...), but that should be it.
Is there anything in particular that keeps DX Auth from working with PostgreSQL?

Well, the DDL provided in the DX Auth distribution for setting up the DB schema is MySql, so that's one roadblock. I haven't tried translating it to PostGre, but I believe I read on the DX Auth thread that it's not PostGre compatible even if you migrate the schema. Could anyone confirm?

Cheers!
