Обсуждение: Client Authentication

Hello,

I set up a PostgreSQL 8.3.1 Server on my Webserver( located somewhere in the web ).
On my local Server I use the trust method to access the server. But on my Webserver I want to use an user with password to access the Server.
So I did the following:

I created a user( as superuser ) with:
createuser -P username


Then I add a new line to the pg_hba.conf file:
host    all         username      0.0.0.0               md5

I want to access all databases from all IP-Adresses with this user.

But this fails :-(

WHere is my Error? I hope some can help me.

Thanks and greetings,
Stefan Sturm

This should be an CIDR, but it's only a IP.

try adding a subnet mask
   host all username 0.0.0.0  0.0.0.0 md5
or a cidr mask
   host all username 0.0.0.0/0 md5

Hello,

try adding a subnet mask
 host all username 0.0.0.0  0.0.0.0 md5
or a cidr mask
 host all username 0.0.0.0/0 md5

that's it. I don't know, why I only wrote 0.0.0.0...
Thats cleary my fault.

Thanks for all your help.
