Hi Shashwat,

I presume your user is hmri and the database is hmri_database, is it correct?

if yes - your pg_hba.conf entry should be as following (if you are connecting to postgres on the same machine)

host hmri_database hmri 127.0.0.1/32 md5

Can you tell me what command are you using to connect to the server and what environment is it?

Regards

Vishal

Subject: Re: [ADMIN] Regarding access to a user

Dear Vishal
Thanks for the help but by doing this an error is generated at the time when the user is trying to log in with the following message:
"
Access to database denied
The server doesn't grant access to the database: the server reports
FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "127.0.0.1", user "hmri", database "postgres", SSL off
To access a database on a PostgreSQL server, you first have to grant primary access to the server for your client (Host Based Authentication). PostgreSQL will check the pg_hba.conf file if a pattern that matches your client address / username / database is present and enabled before any SQL GRANT access control lists are evaluated.
The initial settings in pg_hba.conf are quite restrictive, in order to avoid unwanted security holes caused by unreviewed but mandatory system settings. You'll probably want to add something like
host all all 192.168.0.0/24 md5
This example grants MD5 encrypted password access to all databases to all users on the private network 192.168.0.0/24.
You can use the pg_hba.conf editor that is built into pgAdmin III to edit the pg_hba.conf configuration file. After changing pg_hba.conf, you need to trigger a server configuration reload using pg_ctl or by stopping and restarting the server process.
"
Please provide futher proceedings
Thanks & Regards,

You have to comment out the first entry made in your hba file. In this case it checks for the first line where all users are allowed to access all databases so it does not checks the second line.
