dear all,
I have been reading through all the documentation about user
authentification and still dont have a clear idea. Let me know
if I am right. By the way, I am using postgreSQL 7.0.3.
In the documentation Ive read that in need to execute in the psql shell the
command inserto into pg_group whenever I want
to add a new group. I used create group instead (why cant I use it??? ) and
checked the table pg_group and got the right result and have an entry for
the new group in that system table. Aftewards I add a user with the create
user command in the psql shell and granted the access permissions with the
"grant" command and added the new user to the group with the command "alter
group mygroup add user new_user". Everything seems to work fine, apart of
the detail that I need to set the password for the postgres user in the
system with the command "alter user". Am I doing everything fine?
In the pg_hba.conf file Ive got the following entries:
local all
crypt
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 crypt
Please give some feedback
Thank you very much in advance
Miguel
