Hi Folks,
I have searched the archive, and didn't find an answer, so excuse me if
this has been addressed already.
I have the latest pgAdmin III running on Windoze XP.
I set up an ssh tunnel to my server using cygwin's ssh client.
ssh -L 5433:remote1:5432 laramie@remote1
I use the cygwin psql client to connect from my localhost:
psql --> ssh@localhost --> sshd@remote1 --> postmaster@remote1
with the command
psql -h localhost -p 5433 -U laramie mydatabase
and this works.
Now, with pgAdmin III, I use the GUI, and I select
localhost
5433
SSL [no input]
and my password
I get the Connection refused dialog after a really long time.
My questions:
1) is it possible to change the connection timeout?
2) when I sniff the port on 5433 locally, I find that pgAdmin III is
sending binary bytes, then hangs. Is pgAdmin III insisting on SSL even
though I told it not to?
Since this configuration works with the plain old command line client
psql, I would assume that it would work with pgAdmin III. I much prefer
this port-forwarding setup, since I know and love ssh/sshd and I'm not
all that interested in punching another hole in the server's firewall to
allow postgress through. Similarly, I know how to get ssh working with
certificates, and don't want to have a separate process for installing
certs for pg's clients.
Thanks,
Laramie
