If it's a Linux-Apache-PHP-PostgreSQL web app you only need one user, the
one your PHP script logs in as. Then maybe you could put the same
randomly generated password in both postgres and the PHP script.
Or even have the user name be randomly generated, with or without a
password.
The default would be local access, just to try it out. If remote access
is wanted it could be a question on the setup script. Or even done
manually - I don't think anybody will be setting it up across two or more
machines without being pretty sure they want to install your app
permanently.
Just some thoughts off the top of my head.....
