This won't work as all connections that would match the second rule,
match the first rule, so the second rule will never be used.
In 7.3 you can write authentication rules that match connection method,
database and user, which might allow you to do what you want.

Thanks,

I wasn't aware that 7.3.1 also has better authentication support. At
home at have it, but for the site. 7.3 appears to be a significant step
forward.

It appears that an equivalent of the 2 lines above will work just fine
in 7.3. I'll try to test that next week.

Sincerely,
