# PostgreSQL HOST-BASED ACCESS (HBA) CONTROL FILE
#
#
# This file controls:
# o which hosts are allowed to connect
# o how users are authenticated on each host
# o databases accessible by each host
#
# It is read on postmaster startup and when the postmaster receives a SIGHUP.
# If you edit the file on a running system, you have to SIGHUP the postmaster
# for the changes to take effect, or use "pg_ctl reload".
#
# Each line is a new record. Records cannot span multiple lines.
# Comments begin with # and continue to the end of the line.
# Blank lines are ignored. A record consists of tokens separated by
# spaces or tabs.
#
# Each record specifies a connection type and authentication method. Most
# records also can restrict based on database name or IP address.
# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
# ===================================================
#
# When reading this file, the postmaster finds the first record that
# matches the connection type, client address, and database name, and uses
# that record to perform client authentication. If no record matches, the
# connection is rejected.
# Refer to the PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide, chapter "Client
# Authentication" for a complete description. A short synopsis
# follows.
#
# The first token of a record indicates the connection type. The
# remainder of the record is interpreted based on that type.
#
# Record Types
# ============
#
# There are three record types:
# o host
# o hostssl
# o local
#
# host
# ----
#
# This record identifies hosts that are permitted to connect via TCP/IP.
#
# Format:
#
# host DATABASE USER IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE
#
# DATABASE can be:
# o a database name
# o "sameuser", which means a user can only access a database with the
# same name as their user name
# o "samegroup", which means a user can only access databases when they
# are members of a group with the same name as the database name
# o "all", which matches all databases
# o a list of database names, separated by commas
# o a file name containing database names, starting with '@'
# This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
# are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which
# databases they can access. Records take one of three forms:
#
# USER can be:
# o a user name
# o "all", which matches all users
# o a list of user names, separated by commas
# o a group name, starting with '+'
# o a file name containing user names, starting with '@'
# local DATABASE USER METHOD [OPTION]
# host DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD [OPTION]
# hostssl DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD [OPTION]
#
# Files read using '@' can contain comma-separated database/user names,
# or one name per line. The files can also contain comments using '#'.
# (The uppercase quantities should be replaced by actual values.)
# DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samegroup", a database name (or
# a comma-separated list thereof), or a file name prefixed with "@".
# USER can be "all", an actual user name or a group name prefixed with
# "+" or a list containing either. IP-ADDRESS and IP-MASK specify the
# set of hosts the record matches. METHOD can be "trust", "reject",
# "md5", "crypt", "password", "krb4", "krb5", "ident", or "pam". Note
# that "password" uses clear-text passwords; "md5" is preferred for
# encrypted passwords. OPTION is the ident map or the name of the PAM
# service.
#
# IP_ADDRESS and MASK are standard dotted decimal IP address and
# mask values. IP addresses can only be specified numerically, not as
# domain or host names.
#
# Do not prevent the superuser from accessing the template1 database.
# Various utility commands need access to template1.
#
# AUTH_TYPE is described below.
#
#
# hostssl
# -------
#
# The format of this record is identical to "host".
#
# It specifies hosts that require connection via secure SSL. "host"
# allows SSL connections too, but "hostssl" requires SSL-secured
# connections.
#
# This keyword is only available if the server was compiled with SSL
# support.
#
#
# local
# -----
#
# This record identifies the authentication for local UNIX domain socket
# connections. Without this record, UNIX-socket connections are disallowed
#
# Format:
# local DATABASE USER AUTH_TYPE
#
# This format is identical to the "host" record type except there are no
# IP_ADDRESS and MASK fields.
#
#
#
# Authentication Types (AUTH_TYPE)
# ================================
#
# AUTH_TYPE indicates the method used to authenticate users. Each record
# has an AUTH_TYPE.
#
# trust:
# No authentication is done. Any valid user name is accepted,
# including the PostgreSQL superuser. This option should
# be used only for hosts where all users are trusted.
#
# md5:
# Requires the client to supply an MD5 encrypted password for
# authentication. This is the only method that allows encrypted
# passwords to be stored in pg_shadow.
#
# crypt:
# Same as "md5", but uses crypt for pre-7.2 clients.
#
# password:
# Same as "md5", but the password is sent in cleartext over
# the network. This should not be used on untrusted
# networks.
#
# ident:
# For TCP/IP connections, authentication is done by contacting the
# ident server on the client host. This is only as secure as the
# client machine. You must specify the map name after the 'ident'
# keyword. It determines how to map remote user names to
# PostgreSQL user names. If you use "sameuser", the user names are
# assumed to be identical. If not, the map name is looked up
# in the $PGDATA/pg_ident.conf file. The connection is accepted if
# that file contains an entry for this map name with the
# ident-supplied username and the requested PostgreSQL username.
#
# On machines that support unix-domain socket credentials
# (currently Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and BSD/OS), ident allows
# reliable authentication of 'local' connections without ident
# running on the local machine.
#
# krb4:
# Kerberos V4 authentication is used. Allowed only for
# TCP/IP connections, not for local UNIX-domain sockets.
#
# krb5:
# Kerberos V5 authentication is used. Allowed only for
# TCP/IP connections, not for local UNIX-domain sockets.
#
# pam:
# Authentication is done by PAM using the default service name
# "postgresql". You can specify your own service name by adding
# the service name after the 'pam' keyword. To use this option,
# PostgreSQL must be configured --with-pam.
#
# reject:
# Reject the connection. This is used to reject certain hosts
# that are part of a network specified later in the file.
# To be effective, "reject" must appear before the later
# entries.
#
#
#
# Examples
# ========
#
#
# Allow any user on the local system to connect to any database under any
# username using Unix-domain sockets (the default for local connections):
#
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE
# local all all trust
#
# The same using local loopback TCP/IP connections:
#
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE
# host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
#
# Allow any user from any host with IP address 192.168.93.x to
# connect to database "template1" as the same username that ident reports
# for the connection (typically his Unix username):
#
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE
# host template1 all 192.168.93.0 255.255.255.0 ident sameuser
#
# Allow a user from host 192.168.12.10 to connect to database "template1"
# if the user's password is correctly supplied:
#
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE
# host template1 all 192.168.12.10 255.255.255.255 md5
#
# In the absence of preceding "host" lines, these two lines will reject
# all connection from 192.168.54.1 (since that entry will be matched
# first), but allow Kerberos V5 connections from anywhere else on the
# Internet. The zero mask means that no bits of the host IP address are
# considered so it matches any host:
#
#
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE
# host all all 192.168.54.1 255.255.255.255 reject
# host all all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 krb5
#
# Allow users from 192.168.x.x hosts to connect to any database if they
# pass the ident check. For example, if ident says the user is "james" and
# he requests to connect as PostgreSQL user "guest", the connection is
# allowed if there is an entry in $PGDATA/pg_ident.conf with map name
# "phoenix" that says "james" is allowed to connect as "guest":
# See $PGDATA/pg_ident.conf for more information on Ident maps.
#
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE
# host all all 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 ident phoenix
#
# If these are the only three lines for local connections, they will
# allow local users to connect only to their own databases (databases
# with the same name as their user name) except for administrators and
# members of group 'support' who may connect to all databases . The file
# $PGDATA/admins contains a list of user names. Passwords are required in
# all cases.
#
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE
# local sameuser all md5
# local all @admins md5
# local all +support md5
#
# The last two lines above can be combined into a single line:
#
# local all @admins,+support md5
#
# The database column can also use lists and file names, but not groups:
#
# local db1,db2,@demodbs all md5
#
#
#
#
#
#
# Put your actual configuration here
# ==================================
#
# The default configuration allows any local user to connect using any
# PostgreSQL username, including the superuser, over either UNIX domain
# sockets or TCP/IP.
#
# If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more "host"
# records. Also, remember TCP/IP connections are only enabled if you
# start the postmaster with the -i flag, or enable "tcpip_socket" in
# $PGDATA/postgresql.conf.
#
# CAUTION: if you are on a multiple-user machine, the default
# configuration is probably too liberal for you. Change it to use
# something other than "trust" authentication.
#
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE
# This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
# a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect, or use
# "pg_ctl reload".

# PostgreSQL IDENT-BASED AUTHENTICATION MAPS
#
# This file controls PostgreSQL ident-based authentication. It maps ident
# usernames (typically Unix usernames) to their corresponding PostgreSQL
# usernames. Entries are grouped by map name. Each record consists of
# three fields:
#
# o map name
# o ident username
# o PostgreSQL username
#
# It is read on postmaster startup and when the postmaster receives a SIGHUP.
# If you edit the file on a running system, you have to SIGHUP the postmaster
# for the changes to take effect.
# PostgreSQL Ident Authentication Maps
# ====================================
#
# For example, the following entry equates user "james" on a remote system
# to PostgreSQL user "guest" in the map named "phoenix":
#
# MAP IDENT PGUSERNAME
# phoenix james guest
#
# "phoenix" can now be used by an "ident" record in $DATA/pg_hba.conf.
#
# Multiple maps may be specified in this file and used by pg_hba.conf.
#
# Note that it is possible for a remote user to map to multiple PostgreSQL
# usernames. The PostgreSQL username specified at connection time controls
# which one is used.
#
# If all ident usernames and PostgreSQL usernames are the same, you don't
# need this file. Instead, use the special map name "sameuser" in
