I"m just getting started with PostgreSQL/PostGIS db (v9.2) and I'm wanting to connect to db while not on the localhost using QGIS. I've been able to connect successfully on localhost, however I'm not sure what I need to do to make this non localhost connection. I'm able to ping the db server from my desktop.
In pgAdmin within the db properties I defined the following privileges:
Then in QGIS here are my connection settings (using postgres username/password, but logged in as my domain user):
I've tried searching the web for this, however all the hits are just coming up with examples of how to connect on localhost. I'm thinking maybe I have to add my domain info as user login?
Thanks
Answer
HOST should be the IP of the POSTGIS/Postgres Location
on Windows you can do ipconfig to get the v4 ip something like 192.0.168.101
You need to allow connections to this server in postgres pg_hba.conf
see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/auth-pg-hba-conf.html
firewalls also need to be adjusted to accommodate successful connections.
You can use the Trust switch
host all all 192.168.0.101/32 trust
