X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.0.35 i586) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pgsql-interfaces@postgresql.org Subject: C API - Authentication Question Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm very impressed so far with what I've seen of PostgreSQL, however I have a nagging question which is absolutely vital for the project I have in mind... How do I tell PostgreSQL what username:password to use to authenticate myself to the database? I'm going to have clients(Linux) on changing IPs that must be authenicated with user:pw, not simply by host, I understand how to change the config file to allow connections but I can't find sufficient documentation to tell me how to give a username:pw pair... Thank you in advance... --David
