# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File # =================================================== # # Refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the # PostgreSQL documentation for a complete description # of this file. 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 these forms: # # local DATABASE USER METHOD [OPTIONS] # host DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS] # hostssl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS] # hostnossl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS] # # (The uppercase items must 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", "samerole", a database name, or # a comma-separated list thereof. # # USER can be "all", a user name, a group name prefixed with "+", or # a comma-separated list thereof. In both the DATABASE and USER fields # you can also write a file name prefixed with "@" to include names from # a separate file. # # 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 (IPv4) or 128 (IPv6) inclusive) that specifies # the number of significant bits in the mask. Alternatively, you can write # an IP address and netmask in separate columns to specify the set of hosts. # # METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "password", "gss", "sspi", "krb5", # "ident", "pam", "ldap" or "cert". Note that "password" sends passwords # in clear text; "md5" is preferred since it sends encrypted passwords. # # OPTIONS are a set of options for the authentication in the format # NAME=VALUE. The available options depend on the different authentication # methods - refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the documentation # for a list of which options are available for which authentication methods. # # Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other special # characters must be quoted. Quoting one of the keywords "all", "sameuser" or # "samerole" 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. You can use # "pg_ctl reload" to do that. # 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 via the -i or -h command line switches. # # DO NOT DISABLE! # If you change this first entry you will need to make sure that the # database # super user can access the database using some other method. # Noninteractive # access to all databases is required during automatic maintenance # (custom daily cronjobs, replication, and similar tasks). # # Database administrative login by UNIX sockets local all postgres ident # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only #local all all ident local all all trust # IPv4 local connections: #host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 md5 local all postgres md5 host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
