Thread: Easy pg_hba.conf question.

Easy pg_hba.conf question.

From

Date:
I want to add a line in a pg_hba.conf file so that the user 'auser' can
connect to the database 'aDB' via host based authentication: so far for
the line I have:

host       aDB  134.117.76.10  255.255.255.255      md5


However, I'm not sure how to specify only 'auser' can connect to the
database.

Thanks for your help,
Robert Young

What version of postgres are you using? I think the hba format changed
between 7.1 and 7.2 (though it might have been between 7.2 and 7.3)
to include a specifation for allowed users.

I'm using 7.2, the one shipped with Debian Stable/3.0.

Then the change must have been between 7.2 and 7.3
In the older versions you couldn't restrict which users could connect
to which databases.
