Thread: pg_hba.conf
I’m trying to access our test postgreSQL server via VPN and even though I already setup the host for the vpn’s ip address, I’m still getting an error similar to “host for vpn address does not exist”
What am I doing incorrectly?
Thanks!

can you ping the server that postgresql is living on? or maybe your misrepresenting the error message... what program are you using to try and connect? can you verify that tcpip_sockets is turned on the server? also, if it is a database problem there will be an exact error message being reported in the logs of type FATAL, can you send us that?

Yes I can ping the server if not connected via VPN. I'm using EMS PostgreSQL Manager, which works if not via VPN. Yes, postgresql.conf's tcpip_socket = true. The log says: FATAL: No pg_hba.conf entry for host 10.29.15.113, user postgres, database TEST. Thanks for your help!

Your ip address range is probably different when connecting via a VPN rather than in the office. By default postgres willnot allow connections from other locations even if tcpip_socket is true without specifying an ip address range, databaseetc. Checkout the docs. There is a section on pg_hba.conf.

I am thinking that the entry for this ip has an issue with the username and/or database specified in the line (or maybe conflicting entries?) Would you mind posting your complete pg_hba.conf to the list?

Um, I restarted postmaster so many times already after I made the entry and this is the only pg_hba.conf file in our server (you're right, $PGDATA/pg_hba.conf).

I read through the docs and found nothing about anything > special with VPN connections. Which address? The address at your end of the connection may not be the same as the address at the other end: The end trying to connect to the pgsql server. It appears from this "The log says: FATAL: No pg_hba.conf entry for host 10.29.15.113, ..." the pgsql server sees (or saw) you coming from 10.29.15.113. So is that address, or a superset of it, in pg_hba.conf? Has the server been kicked in the pants to recognize the config change since it was added? Jim
Hmm.... Looks like I am still in the same boat you are. I still cannot log into my db over a VPN connection using pgadminIII. Everytime I try and connect I get a "Server terminated connection unexpectedly error". I originally received the pg_hba.conf entry complaint as well but after adding and restarting the system the above is all I get. I tried specifying pgadmin to prefer SSL connection, and changed pg_hba.conf entry to expect SSL from my VPN connection entry.

Hello, I believe I found my problem. The Cisco VPN client I use encrypts data at a 168 bit level. Postgres only supports up to 128 bit correct?

That's your VPN's end-to-end/network-to-network connectivity. It has nothing to do with PostgreSQL at all. (Note: Please do NOT copy me on replies. I do read the mailing list.) Jim
Thanks Mike! Do you know if pgSQL will be supporting higher level of encryption in the near future?

Most of us here at Ameritrade work from home via VPN. The client can use ssl. That supports 128 bit keys which is plenty. Any adversary that has the resources to brute force a 128bit key has the resources to do black bag jobs for a lower cost. If there are other weaknesses besides brute force attacks, increasing the key size alone isn't going to magicly make things better. What kinds of threats are you trying to protect against? If you are using an encrypted link already, using ssl isn't going to add much security. Just allowing people to connect to the database directly is a significant risk. It is made worse by letting people do it home where the machines may not be safely operated by the users, which are not physically secured and for which maitainance is harder (or not being done by the company). If you are worried about people stealing hardware with information on it, you should be considering better physical security, proper procedures for destroying old media and consider using encrypted file systems. If you are looking for ideas for how to hide information from authroized users of a database while letting them use it for some things, Peter Wayner's book Translucent Databases might be of some interest. > -----Original Message----- > From: mike g [mailto:mike@thegodshalls.com] > Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2004 12:51 AM > To: LSanchez@ameritrade.com > Cc: xzilla@users.sourceforge.net; pgsql-admin@postgresql.org > Subject: Re: [ADMIN] pg_hba.conf > > Hello, > > I believe I found my problem.

Most of us here at Ameritrade work from home via VPN.=20 As I told "mike g": pgsql's encryption has *nothing* to do with your VPN's encryption. I'm running a sort of a VPN, using port- forwarding over OpenSSH. In fact, from work just now... From an xterm... $ ssh -C -c blowfish -2 -L 57001:athome.example.com:5432 athome.example.com What that command says is to do an SSH login to athome.example.com and port-forward port 57001 on the local machine to port 5432 on athome.example.com. The "-C" says to use data compression on the session. The "-c blowfish" says to encrypt the session using the Blowfish encryption algorithm. From another xterm... $ psql -h 127.0.0.1 -p 57001 Password: Welcome to psql 7.4.2, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal. Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help on internal slash commands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit jseymour=> That is the pgsql server on my machine at home. Now, in my case, it's simplified in that what pgsql sees coming in is a connection from its own server (localhost), because the connection is port-forwarded by SSH, rather than routed over a VPN route. But that's just a technicality. The point I'm trying to make is that pgsql doesn't care, doesn't even *know*, what the VPN connection uses for encryption--or even that it *is* encrypted. (Much-less that my SSH connection travels through an application proxy firewall, a NAT'd router, and the Lord knows how many routers and other network equipment on the way.) Jim

That ought to be entirely irrelevant, as your VPN client would encrypt all data going across the network, encrypted or not. Indeed, if the VPN is encrypting the data, it is redundant to have the database server encrypt it an extra time. That will just make things perform poorly. And if you have some network configuration problem, adding in extra layers of encryption is unlikely to make it easier to solve the problem... -- (reverse (concatenate 'string "gro.mca" "@" "enworbbc")) http://cbbrowne.com/info/linux.html Howe's Law: Everyone has a scheme that will not work.
Hello, I finally got it to work and as some have mentioned it was not the encryption level. I had setup my pg_hba.conf originally like this: host all all 10.15.0.0 255.255.255.0 trust I was under the impression that the .0 was supposed to be equivalent to a wildcard entry so that any connection from 10.15 would be able to connect. This was not so. By changing my pg_hba.conf to this: host all all 10.15.13.0 255.255.255.0 trust I was able to connect successfully. The .0 works as a wildcard entry for the last part but not the one prior. Hope that helps you.

Your first attempt above allowed connections for anything in the 10.15.0/24 subnet (which 10.15.13 is not a part of).

To expand a bit: the correct way of letting in a /16 would be host all all 10.15.0.0 255.255.0.0 trust In recent PG releases (7.4.*, not sure about 7.3) you could also write host all all 10.15.0.0/16 trust regards, tom lane

Then I would suggest the server isn't seeing you coming from 10.29.15.0 through 10.29.15.255. Then again: There's been some kind of bug (?) mentioned lately (only on [certain versions?] of Solaris?) where "network netmask" doesn't appear to work properly. Try changing the "10.29.15.0 255.255.255.0" to "10.29.15.0/24", if you have a 7.4-series pgsql server, and see if that doesn't work. Jim
Mike, I think if you set it up like this it would have worked as well: host all all 10.15.0.0 255.255.0.0 trust Your netmask was telling it that the first three octets of the IP address were significant.

Hello all: I have several customers that I need to upgrade to postgres 7.4. Unfortunately they are also using somewhat older versions of PHP as well (4.1 and 4.2). Does anyone know offhand if there are any compatibility issues between PHP 4.1/4.2 and postgres 7.4? I'm opening to upgrading PHP as well, just wondering whether I'll HAVE to. -- sgl

Depends on what operating system / distro you are using, for most it is a simple 'apt-get upgrade'... Whenever you upgrade to a newer point release (e.g. 7.3 -> 7.4) you will always have to upgrade php or rebuild php with the newer postgresql client libraries. Either is not too hard, just annoying once you get Turck MMCache and other stuff built into apache... Let me know what your O/S is and I can be more specific. -- Mitch

Thanks so much Jim! I'm happily connected from home today... > :) It was a long shot, but it worked. Very good :). I'm curious, Lily, could you share with us just what operating system and version/release the PostgreSQL server is running on? And what version of PostgreSQL is running on that server? Reason I ask is that the solution I presented has so far only been associated with some (?) versions of pgsql running on some (?) versions of Sun Solaris. (Note: I'm Cc'ing you again as last time you mentioned you weren't getting the mailing list itself.) Jim
