Dave,

 

thank you the documentation link, i modified teh pg_hba.conf file and i can connect from pgadmin tool.

but i have a problem to connect to the database from php script.

here is my script:

 

$conn = pg_Connect("host=192.168.1.30 port=5432 dbname=PMS2500 user=pms_ivan password=ivan");
i tried also:

$conn = pg_Connect("host=192.168.1.30 port=5432 dbname=PMS2500 user=pms_ivan password=md5('ivan')");
echo $conn;

it is not working, what encryption method i have to use?

 

Ivan

I have just written a doc about the encrypted passwords which will be in the helpfile for the next release of pgAdmin, and can be found at http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=19.

 

SSH connections are slightly different to the encrypted passwords - they encrypt the entire session over the wire, whilst the passwords are encrypted over the wire *and* in pg_shadow. pgAdmin with SSH is outlined here: http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=11

 

For the best security,  why not use both?

 

Regards, Dave.

Ivan,

 

I tunnel my pgAdmin connection through an SSH connection to provide security for pgAdmin logins.  You can use the standard SSH port forwarding feature to have your pgAdmin connect to PostgreSQL.  I believe there is now documentation on how to use SSH port forwarding with pgAdmin. 

 

I hope this helps.

 

Peter
