Open Connection On PostgreSQL Server

Applicable to use-case where users want to use a remote PostgreSQL server sitting on a different server from where MetaDefender ICAP Server resides.

Windows

1.) Modify C:\Program Files\OPSWAT\MetaDefender ICAP Server\data\pg_data\pg_hba.conf

(If that’s a separate PostgreSQL server then you should find it in PostgreSQL data directory instead)

host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0            password

In above example, it means to accept any MetaDefender ICAP Server machine source address. Learn more at: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/auth-pg-hba-conf.html

2.) Create new file C:\Program Files\OPSWAT\MetaDefender ICAP Server\postgres\postgresql.conf

(If that’s a separate PostgreSQL server then you can find it in PostgreSQL data directory instead)

listen_addresses = '*'

In above example, it means to ask PostgreSQL server to start listening for all MetaDefender ICAP Server source connections. Learn more at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/runtime-config-connection.html

3.) Restart mdicapsrv-postgres service

Linux

1.) Modify /var/lib/mdicapsrv/pg_data/pg_hba.conf

(If that’s a separate PostgreSQL server then you can find it in PostgreSQL data directory instead)

host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0            password

2.) Create new file /usr/lib/ mdicapsrv /postgres/postgresql.conf

(If that’s a separate PostgreSQL server then you can find it in PostgreSQL data directory instead)
