Configuring Advanced Server v11
You can easily update parameters that determine the behavior of Advanced Server and supporting components by modifying the following configuration files:
- The
postgresql.conffile determines the initial values of Advanced Server configuration parameters. - The
pg_hba.conffile specifies your preferences for network authentication and authorization. - The
pg_ident.conffile maps operating system identities (user names) to Advanced Server identities (roles) when usingident-based authentication.
For more information about Modifying the postgresql.conf file and Modifying the pg_hba.conf file, see the EDB Postgres Advanced Server Guide available from the EDB website at:
https://www.enterprisedb.com/docs
You can use your editor of choice to open a configuration file, or on Windows navigate through the EDB Postgres menu to open a file.
