1 # PostgreSQL User Name Maps
2 # =========================
4 # Refer to the PostgreSQL documentation, chapter "Client
5 # Authentication" for a complete description. A short synopsis
8 # This file controls PostgreSQL user name mapping. It maps external
9 # user names to their corresponding PostgreSQL user names. Records
12 # MAPNAME SYSTEM-USERNAME PG-USERNAME
14 # (The uppercase quantities must be replaced by actual values.)
16 # MAPNAME is the (otherwise freely chosen) map name that was used in
17 # pg_hba.conf. SYSTEM-USERNAME is the detected user name of the
18 # client. PG-USERNAME is the requested PostgreSQL user name. The
19 # existence of a record specifies that SYSTEM-USERNAME may connect as
22 # If SYSTEM-USERNAME starts with a slash (/), it will be treated as a
23 # regular expression. Optionally this can contain a capture (a
24 # parenthesized subexpression). The substring matching the capture
25 # will be substituted for \1 (backslash-one) if present in
28 # Multiple maps may be specified in this file and used by pg_hba.conf.
30 # No map names are defined in the default configuration. If all
31 # system user names and PostgreSQL user names are the same, you don't
32 # need anything in this file.
34 # This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
35 # a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
36 # to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect. You can
37 # use "pg_ctl reload" to do that.
