N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 Installation Guide

Postgres Security

Ensure that the Postgres database does not accept connections from other hosts. The default configuration of the Postgres database is to accept connections from UNIX sockets and localhost. Change this default setting in the server/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf configuration file. Also, change the database password after installation using the alter user username with password `password' query. If you make these changes to the Postgres configuration file, in the N1SPS5.0-MasterServer-home/config/config.properties file, you must change the value of db.password.
