Bob, the security is by default tight - but it sounds like you want host based authentication (hba)
You will need to read this page a few times : http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/auth-pg-hba-conf.html and then before you do anything else edit your postgresql.conf file (about 60 lines down) to look like : listen_addresses = '*' # what IP address(es) to listen on; # comma-separated list of addresses; # defaults to 'localhost', '*' = all # (change requires restart) Note the * in between the quotes (you may well have localhost there now). Then edit your pg_hba.conf file. note that you need to restart the server when you change the listen addresses, but you only need to reload it when you edit the pg_hba.conf file Also note that this can be really painful for users with dynamic ip address allocation. good luck. cheers Ben On 14/02/2012, at 11:04 PM, Bistrais, Bob wrote: > So at this point I figured out how to get a PostGIS layer to display through > MapServer, but that is only where host=localhost.
