Thread: authentication log in
good morning,
I want to secure a password when using the pgAdmin client to logon to the PostgreSQL DB. No matter what passwords I put for connection with pgAdmin, all connected fine. I have configured pg_hba.conf with md5, it works to prompt me for a password in the DB server as use psql. If the password is not corrected, psql will prompt me an error but it's ok with pgAdmin.
pg_hba.conf:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all all localhost md5
host postgres postgres ip.0/24 ident
host cidr username1 ip.0/24 password
host cidr username2 ip.0/24 password
would you please point me to what method should I use to authentication the log-in from the client? It works find in AWS DB but not with Linux DB.
thank you.
