postgresql.conf : change listen_address to a real ip pg_hba.conf : configure your host/hostssl hostnossl as: # 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 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", "crypt", "password", # "krb5", "ident", "pam" or "ldap". Note that "password" sends passwords # in clear text; "md5" is preferred since it sends encrypted passwords. # # OPTION is the ident map or the name of the PAM service, depending on METHOD. # --dont configure METHOD as password as passwords are clear text which can be sniffed-------- --use MD5 at a minimum to encrypt-- Martin ______________________________________________ Disclaimer and confidentiality note Everything in this e-mail and any attachments relates to the official business of Sender.
