Information and/or Action

PostgreSQL Port

  • The standard port is selected automatically and is used for both SSL and non-SSL communication.

Listen Addresses

  • These set the TCP/IP addresses on which the PostgreSQL service will listen for incoming connections from clients. Micro Focus services, such as Vibe and Filr are considered SQL clients from a PostgreSQL perspective.

    The following conventions apply:

    • * Indicates all IP interfaces (IPv4 and IPv6) can connect.

    • 0.0.0.0 Indicates that the PostgreSQL server will listen for all IPv4 addresses.

    • An empty field Indicates localhost, and only local loopback socket connections are allowed.

Allowed Connections

  • This sets the client addresses that are allowed to communicate with the PostgreSQL server. Allowed values are:

    • Host names

    • IP address ranges

      For example, 0.0.0.0/0 represents all IPv4 addresses

    • Special key words

    See the address in the PostgreSQL documentation on the web for more information.

Max Connections

Enable SSL

  • If enabled, this requires that the public key be exported/downloaded and then imported into each client machine’s JVM store.

Public SSL Expiration Date

  • Informational only.

    Each self-signed cert has a 2-year lifespan from the creation date.

Download Public Certificate button

  • Click this to download the installed certificate for importing to the client machine's JVM store

Create New Self-Signed Certificate button

  • Click this to generate a new self-signed certificate with a renewed serial number, key identifier, and 2-year lifespan.

    Newly generated certificates must be downloaded and imported to the client machine JVM stores.
