1 # PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
2 # ===================================================
4 # Refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the PostgreSQL
5 # documentation for a complete description of this file. A short
8 # This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
9 # are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which
10 # databases they can access. Records take one of these forms:
12 # local DATABASE USER METHOD [OPTIONS]
13 # host DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS]
14 # hostssl DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS]
15 # hostnossl DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS]
17 # (The uppercase items must be replaced by actual values.)
19 # The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain
20 # socket, "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket,
21 # "hostssl" is an SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a
22 # plain TCP/IP socket.
24 # DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samerole", "replication", a
25 # database name, or a comma-separated list thereof. The "all"
26 # keyword does not match "replication". Access to replication
27 # must be enabled in a separate record (see example below).
29 # USER can be "all", a user name, a group name prefixed with "+", or a
30 # comma-separated list thereof. In both the DATABASE and USER fields
31 # you can also write a file name prefixed with "@" to include names
32 # from a separate file.
34 # ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches. It can be a
35 # host name, or it is made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is
36 # an integer (between 0 and 32 (IPv4) or 128 (IPv6) inclusive) that
37 # specifies the number of significant bits in the mask. A host name
38 # that starts with a dot (.) matches a suffix of the actual host name.
39 # Alternatively, you can write an IP address and netmask in separate
40 # columns to specify the set of hosts. Instead of a CIDR-address, you
41 # can write "samehost" to match any of the server's own IP addresses,
42 # or "samenet" to match any address in any subnet that the server is
43 # directly connected to.
45 # METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "password", "gss", "sspi",
46 # "krb5", "ident", "peer", "pam", "ldap", "radius" or "cert". Note that
47 # "password" sends passwords in clear text; "md5" is preferred since
48 # it sends encrypted passwords.
50 # OPTIONS are a set of options for the authentication in the format
51 # NAME=VALUE. The available options depend on the different
52 # authentication methods -- refer to the "Client Authentication"
53 # section in the documentation for a list of which options are
54 # available for which authentication methods.
56 # Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other
57 # special characters must be quoted. Quoting one of the keywords
58 # "all", "sameuser", "samerole" or "replication" makes the name lose
59 # its special character, and just match a database or username with
62 # This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
63 # a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
64 # to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect. You can
65 # use "pg_ctl reload" to do that.
67 # Put your actual configuration here
68 # ----------------------------------
70 # If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more
71 # "host" records. In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL
72 # listen on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses
73 # configuration parameter, or via the -i or -h command line switches.
