Thread: pg_hba.conf & putty

What address are you connecting to on your desktop computer? You should be using localhost:5432 which putty will redirect to the server via the SSH tunnel and the server will connect to PostgreSQL on your behalf.

dear list,

I know there are already hunderts of posts about pg_hba.conf, but still after reading a few of them I still got troubles with this topic.

I've got a vpn server  with a ststic ip address, java apps are supposed to run there receiving data from a postgresql database.
The database is running, but for changes on it I want to open a putty connection while using pgAdmin.
In putty, I define a tunnel to port 5432, its displayed like this: Lserver.ip.address:5432

Thought this entries in my pg_hba.conf would do it:

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all         all                               md5

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5

# IPv6 local connections:
host    all         all         ::1/128               md5

well, it doesn't. When i run  pgAdmin with an open  putty connection, it still says: error connecting to server.

Any hints how I can find out whats still wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Mo

I know your problem (I think)

 

Your SSH forward you said is defined as:

Lserver.ip.address:5432

 

So the requests will be coming from your server's IP address via the eth0 interface… You need to change this to 127.0.0.1 to make it use the lo interface, and then the requests will come from 127.0.0.1 to match your pg_hba.conf

 

Cheers,

~p

hello phillip,
 
yes, the connection i defined in pgadmin uses localhost:5432.

Still, no success :(
