Package: phppgadmin
Version: 4.2.2-1
Severity: minor

Hi.

In the docs one reads : 
"By default phpPgAdmin connects to localhost port 5432.  PostgreSQL
installations on Debian authenticate this access with passwords by default, so
you should give your database users passwords.  You can do this by executing
in a shell while being root:

    # su - postgres
    $ psql
    (and inside the psql shell)
    =# \password someuser
    =# \q

In particular, you want to give the postgres user itself a password this way,
if you want to use phpPgAdmin for administration tasks requiring superuser
access."

However, after having granted the postgres user a password (inside postgres 
with the above instructions), one will get :

        Login disallowed for security reasons.

One has to do an extra step : setting $conf['extra_login_security'] to 'false' 
in /etc/phppgadmin/config.inc.php.

This should be mentioned in the last paragraph of the above cited instructions 
IMHO.

Hope this helps.
