The application is a simple open source using a local PostgreSQL database. The customer is just any user out there. I guess the PostgreSQL instance itself is in most cases fresh/virgin installed without any configuration done by the user. > I would not like to install applications that change settings in > pg_hba.conf I know that this is a bad solution. It is just a workaround for my development environment. I just explained that modifications here to show how bad my workaround is and how less I know about PostgreSQL. I read unspecific things about a "configuration file" for the application that make it possible to get access to PostgreSQL without having root-access to it. But I don't know details about it. What could this be? Is it possible for the user to install a PostgreSQL-using application (including a fresh install and default-configured PostgreSQL) without modifying the PostgreSQL-configuration? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
