dear list, I know there are already hunderts of posts about pg_hba.conf, but still after reading a few of them I still got troubles with this topic.
I've got a vpn server with a ststic ip address, java apps are supposed to run there receiving data from a postgresql database. The database is running, but for changes on it I want to open a putty connection while using pgAdmin. In putty, I define a tunnel to port 5432, its displayed like this: Lserver.ip.address:5432 Thought this entries in my pg_hba.conf would do it: # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all md5 # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 md5 well, it doesn't. When i run pgAdmin with an open putty connection, it still says: error connecting to server. Any hints how I can find out whats still wrong? Thanks in advance, Mo
