Either md5 or password will work. But I'd recommend md5 for security reasons. That will send passwords using encryption (double). Also note that in order to this work every user must have a password set in pg_shadow. Also set security = true in postgresql.conf. And use "alter user 'myuser' set encrypted password 'password'" command to set passwords.
# TYPE DATABASE IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE AUTH_ARGUMENT
local all md5
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 md5
host all 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 md5

Subject: [GENERAL] pg_hba.conf authorization question
Could someone give me guidance on the following.
I would like to configure the DB such that connections will only be allowed to users created using createuser verified by the password that was set during the creatuser process. The user and password do NOT correlate to system users(linux host). Connections will be both local and TCP based.
Rather than the open to everyone entries that I have in pg_hba.conf below, what should the entries look like under
# TYPE DATABASE IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE AUTH_ARGUMENT
local all trust
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
host all 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 trust
Thanks,
reid
