You can execute the query:

=# select setting from pg_settings where name = 'hba_file';

No.  The addresses / network segments in the file specify from where
the client(s) can connect.

Not according to the docs.

Also, I presume that the address in this file is the address of the
machine where the server is located, not the address from where the
connection is initiated.

Hi,
OK, I found it under the root account.

Now I am modifying it as follows:

# TYPE  DATABASEUSERADDRESS METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all all md5
# IPv4 local connections:
hostall all 192.168.1.3/32md5
# IPv6 local connections:
hostall all ::1/128 md5
# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
# replication privilege.
#local   replication postgresmd5
#hostreplication postgres127.0.0.1/32md5
#hostreplication postgres::1/128 md5

Should "METHOD" column be lept as 'md5' or as 'trusted' as in the link
I posted in the OP?

Thank you.

Standard beginners error. If you forgot the ";" on the first line,
it'll process both lines as a single, erroneous command. Note the
"-#" prompt.

If you run into that situation again, hit ^C.

Apparently it looks like the failure is from the permission.

So how do I enable it? Or it has to stay for "root" only?

Thank you.

Re: [GENERAL] Where is pg_hba.conf

[armand pirvu]

Normally should reside in the data dir. My case below

armandps-MacBook-Air:~ armandp$ ps -fu postgres |grep data
  502 29591 1   0 Thu09PM ?? 0:01.63 
/Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/bin/postgres -D /Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/data

armandps-MacBook-Air:~ armandp$ ls -l /Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf
ls: /Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf: Permission denied
armandps-MacBook-Air:~ armandp$ sudo ls -l 
/Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf
-rw---  1 postgres  daemon  4248 Aug 10 21:17 
/Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf

Is it possible that global search fails from a permission error ?

Hope this helps

Try "SHOW hba_file;".
