# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File # =================================================== # # Refer to the PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide, chapter "Client # Authentication" for a complete description. A short synopsis # follows. # # This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients # are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which # databases they can access. Records take one of seven forms: # # local DATABASE USER METHOD [OPTION] # host DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION] # hostssl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION] # hostnossl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION] # # (The uppercase quantities should be replaced by actual values.) # The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain socket, # "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, "hostssl" is an # SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a plain TCP/IP socket. # DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samegroup", a database name (or # a comma-separated list thereof), or a file name prefixed with "@". # USER can be "all", an actual user name or a group name prefixed with # "+" or a list containing either. # # CIDR-ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches. # It is made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is an integer # (between 0 and 32 (IPv6) or 128(IPv6) inclusive) that specifies # the number of significant bits in the mask Also, you can use a # separate IP address and netmask to specify the set of hosts. # # METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "crypt", "password", # "krb4", "krb5", "ident", or "pam". Note that "password" uses # clear-text passwords; "md5" is preferred for encrypted passwords. # OPTION is the ident map or the name of the PAM service. # # Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other special # characters can be quoted. Quoting one of the keywords "all", "sameuser" or # "samegroup" makes the name lose its special character, and just match a # database or username with that name. # # This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives # a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have # to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect, or use # "pg_ctl reload". # Put your actual configuration here # ---------------------------------- # # If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more # "host" records. In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL listen # on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses configuration parameter, or # the -i or -h command line switches. # # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 # IPv6 local connections: #host all all ::1/128 md5 #host all all 172.22.0.23 255.255.255.0
