You don't need a cygwin user for each postgresql user.  You should be able
to setup a user for your db-connection.
But 1st, pleas answer some questions:
What type of apllication do you have (psql;  self-made app, connecting via
odbc ...) ?
Is your application and postgresql on the same computer or are you
connecting over a network?


If you work with psql, some hints may be found at the docs of the PostgreSQL
client-apps. (
http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?reference-client.html)

For setting up connections via network have look at the doc's chapter 4.1
(client auth.
