Host-Based Authentication in Pigsty

PostgreSQL has various authentication methods. You can use all of them, while pigsty’s battery-include ACL system focuses on HBA, password, and SSL authentication.

Client Authentication

To connect to a PostgreSQL database, the user has to be authenticated (with a password by default).

You can provide the password in the connection string (not secure) or use the PGPASSWORD env or .pgpass file. Check psql docs and PostgreSQL connection string for more details.
