I'm figuring this stuff out for myself rightnow. Here's what I've got
so far.
Visit this location to obtain the win32 ODBC driver:
http://www.insightdist.com/psqlodbc.
If you've created your database, make sure you edit the file pg_hba.conf
in your default database directory to include a line allowing
connections from your windows machines over IP (assuming you have a
network 192.168.0.*), for example:
host all 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 trust
to give completely unfettered access to everything, ignoring passwords.
Obviously, this is probably more permissive than you really want to be!
It's a start for config testing.
Assuming this works, be a little less trusing, change the line to:
host all 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 password pg_pwd
This requires a password and looks into the file pg_pwd in your database
directory for the password. You can run the command "pg_passwd pg_pwd"
to set passwords in this file.
That's as far as I've got. Other methods include kerberos, crypt (no
plaintext password transmitted -- a good idea), and ident (the ident
protocol -- don't know about this one). If anyone has any knowledge
about integrating with NT domains that would be great.
