Hi,
because it might break other applications I do not like password authentication
for all users. IMHO, the advise in /usr/share/doc/phppgadmin/README.Debian is
a little bit dangerous. That's why I would like to add the following
alternative:
--- README.Debian.orig 2005-07-18 11:38:53.000000000 +0200
+++ README.Debian 2005-08-12 09:43:15.000000000 +0200

Now you should have access to your phppgadmin web interface using
any user of the database with his/her password.
+
+ALTERNATIVE APPROACH
+
+ In case you want to avoid password authentication for all users (for
+ instance this might break some local applications which are designed to
+ work with ident authentication) the following approach is suggested:
+
+ Create a special phppgadmin user:
+
+ su - postgres
+ createuser --adduser --createdb --encrypted --pwprompt phppgadmin
+
+ Insert the following line in your /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf file:
+
+ local all phppgadmin password
+
+ (make sure that it is above "local all all ident sameuser")
+
+ Then, restart the postmaster with /etc/init.d/postgresql restart.
+
+ You should be able to login with phppgadmin and the password choosen
+ above into your management interface.
Kind regards and thanks for maintaining phppgadmin
Andreas.
