It should be with your other configuration files: postgresql.conf,
pg_ident.conf.

Where will depend on how you installed it. If you're on Windows, it's
probably in the main PostgreSQL folder on drive C:

If a package manager on Linux/Unix look in /etc/postgresql/...

If you compiled from source, probably something like
/usr/local/postgresql/data/

It's a text file and you'll need to restart PostgreSQL to pick up your
new settings.
