1 # PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
2 # ===================================================
4 # Refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the
5 # PostgreSQL documentation for a complete description
6 # of this file. A short synopsis follows.
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 CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS]
14 # hostssl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS]
15 # hostnossl DATABASE USER CIDR-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 socket,
20 # "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, "hostssl" is an
21 # SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a plain TCP/IP socket.
23 # DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samerole", "replication",
24 # a database name, or a comma-separated list thereof.
26 # USER can be "all", a user name, a group name prefixed with "+", or
27 # a comma-separated list thereof. In both the DATABASE and USER fields
28 # you can also write a file name prefixed with "@" to include names from
31 # CIDR-ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches.
32 # It is made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is an integer
33 # (between 0 and 32 (IPv4) or 128 (IPv6) inclusive) that specifies
34 # the number of significant bits in the mask. Alternatively, you can write
35 # an IP address and netmask in separate columns to specify the set of hosts.
36 # Instead of a CIDR-address, you can write "samehost" to match any of the
37 # server's own IP addresses, or "samenet" to match any address in any subnet
38 # that the server is directly connected to.
40 # METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "password", "gss", "sspi", "krb5",
41 # "ident", "pam", "ldap" or "cert". Note that "password" sends passwords
42 # in clear text; "md5" is preferred since it sends encrypted passwords.
44 # OPTIONS are a set of options for the authentication in the format
45 # NAME=VALUE. The available options depend on the different authentication
46 # methods - refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the documentation
47 # for a list of which options are available for which authentication methods.
49 # Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other special
50 # characters must be quoted. Quoting one of the keywords "all", "sameuser",
51 # "samerole" or "replication" makes the name lose its special character,
52 # and just match a database or username with that name.
54 # This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
55 # a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
56 # to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect. You can use
57 # "pg_ctl reload" to do that.
59 # Put your actual configuration here
60 # ----------------------------------
62 # If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more
63 # "host" records. In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL listen
64 # on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses configuration parameter,
65 # or via the -i or -h command line switches.
