.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
"Host-based access control" is the name for the basic controls Postgres
|
||
|
exercises on what clients are allowed to access a database system.
|
||
|
It is called that because one of the factors that can control access is
|
||
|
from what host the client is connecting.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Each database system contains a file named "pg_hba.conf", in its PGDATA
|
||
|
directory, that controls who can connect to that database system.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The exact format of the pg_hba.conf file is described in the comments at
|
||
|
the top of the sample file pg_hba.conf.sample, which resides in the
|
||
|
Postgres "library" directory.
