1 # PostgreSQL Ident Authentication Maps
2 # ====================================
4 # Refer to the PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide, chapter "Client
5 # Authentication" for a complete description. A short synopsis
8 # This file controls PostgreSQL ident-based authentication. It maps
9 # ident user names (typically Unix user names) to their corresponding
10 # PostgreSQL user names. Records are of the form:
12 # MAPNAME IDENT-USERNAME PG-USERNAME
14 # (The uppercase quantities should be replaced by actual values.)
15 # MAPNAME is the (otherwise freely chosen) map name that was used in
16 # pg_hba.conf. IDENT-USERNAME is the detected user name of the
17 # client. PG-USERNAME is the request PostgreSQL user name. The
18 # existence of a record specifies that IDENT-USERNAME may connect as
19 # PG-USERNAME. Multiple maps may be specified in this file and used
22 # This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
23 # a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
24 # to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect, or use
27 # Put your actual configuration here
28 # ----------------------------------
30 # No map names are defined in the default configuration. If all ident
31 # user names and PostgreSQL user names are the same, you don't need
32 # this file. Instead, use the special map name "sameuser" in
35 # MAPNAME IDENT-USERNAME PG-USERNAME
