Hello,
For TCP/IP access you must enable it in postgresql.conf (in the pg data dir) or you must add the -i option in the
commandline that starts the database. After that you must enable the users which are allowed to access the db from
tcpip.Thi is done by editing the pg_hba.conf file in the data dir. Editing that file is very simple .. there are
alreadysome exaples inside the file in the comments. Regarding users, the machine users are bot the same as the
databaseusers. If you want to use other accounts to access the db you will have to create them in postgres. This is
donewith the createuser commsnd from console or directly in the database with CREATE USER the_user WITH PASSWORD
'the_password'
Anyway ... take a look at the docs on postgresql.org
Best Regards,
Fabrizio Mazzoni
