Client Access Authentication
Configuring Client Access Authentication
Background
If a host needs to connect to a database remotely, you need to add information about the host in configuration file of the database system and perform client access authentication. The configuration file (pg_hba.conf by default) is stored in the data directory of the database. HBA is short for host-based authentication.
-
The system supports the following three authentication methods, which all require the pg_hba.conf file.
- Host-based authentication: A server checks the configuration file based on the IP address, username, and target database of the client to determine whether the user can be authenticated.
- Password authentication: A password can be an encrypted password for remote connection or a non-encrypted password for local connection.
- SSL encryption: The OpenSSL is used to provide a secure connection between the server and the client.
-
In the pg_hba.conf file, each record occupies one row and specifies an authentication rule. An empty row or a row started with a number sign (#) is neglected.
-
Each authentication rule consists of multiple columns separated by spaces and forward slashes (/), or spaces and tab characters. If a field is enclosed with quotation marks ("), it can contain spaces. One record cannot span different rows.
Procedure
-
Log in as the OS user omm to the primary node of the database.
-
Configure the client authentication mode and enable the client to connect to the host as user jack. User omm cannot be used for remote connection.
Assume you are to allow the client whose IP address is 10.10.0.30 to access the current host.
gs_guc reload -N all -I all -h "host all jack 10.10.0.30/32 sha256"
NOTE: - Before using user jack, connect to the database locally and run the following command in the database to create user jack:
mogdb=# CREATE USER jack PASSWORD 'Test@123';
- -N all indicates all hosts in MogDB.
- -I all indicates all instances on the host.
- -h specifies statements that need to be added in the pg_hba.conf file.
- all indicates that a client can connect to any database.
- jack indicates the user that accesses the database.
- 10.10.0.30/32 indicates that only the client whose IP address is 10.10.0.30 can connect to the host. The specified IP address must be different from those used in MogDB. 32 indicates that there are 32 bits whose value is 1 in the subnet mask. That is, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.255.
- sha256 indicates that the password of user jack is encrypted using the SHA-256 algorithm.
This command adds a rule to the pg_hba.conf file corresponds to the primary node of the database. The rule is used to authenticate clients that access primary node.
Each record in the pg_hba.conf file can be in one of the following four formats. For parameter description of the four formats, see Configuration File Reference.
local DATABASE USER METHOD [OPTIONS]
host DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS]
hostssl DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS]
hostnossl DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS]
During authentication, the system checks records in the pg_hba.conf file in sequence for connection requests, so the record sequence is vital.
NOTE: Configure records in the pg_hba.conf file from top to bottom based on communication and format requirements in the descending order of priorities. The IP addresses of the MogDB cluster and added hosts are of the highest priority and should be configured prior to those manually configured by users. If the IP addresses manually configured by users and those of added hosts are in the same network segment, delete the manually configured IP addresses before the scale-out and configure them after the scale-out.
The suggestions on configuring authentication rules are as follows:
- Records placed at the front have strict connection parameters but weak authentication methods.
- Records placed at the end have weak connection parameters but strict authentication methods.
NOTE:
- If a user wants to connect to a specified database, the user must be authenticated by the rules in the pg_hba.conf file and have the CONNECT permission for the database. If you want to restrict a user from connecting to certain databases, you can grant or revoke the user's CONNECT permission, which is easier than setting rules in the pg_hba.conf file.
- The trust authentication mode is insecure for a connection between the MogDB and a client outside the cluster. In this case, set the authentication mode to sha256.
Exception Handling
There are many reasons for a user authentication failure. You can view an error message returned from a server to a client to determine the exact cause. [Table 1](#Table 1.1.1) lists common error messages and solutions to these errors.
Symptom | Solution |
---|---|
The username or password is incorrect.FATAL: invalid username/password,login denied |
Retry the authentication with the correct username and password. |
The database to connect does not exist.FATAL: database "TESTDB" does not exist |
Retry the authentication with the correct database name. |
No matched client record is found.FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "10.10.0.60", user "ANDYM", database "TESTDB" |
This message indicates that the server is connected but denies the connection request, because it does not find a matched record in pg_hba.conf. Contact the database administrator to add user information to the pg_hba.conf file. |
Example
TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
#Allow only the user specified by the -U parameter (omm as default) during installation to establish a connection from the local server.
local all o trust
IPv4 local connections:
#User jack is allowed to connect to any database from the 10.10.0.50 host. The SHA-256 algorithm is used to encrypt the password.
host all jack 10.10.0.50/32 sha256
#Any user is allowed to connect to any database from a host on the 10.10.0.0/24 network segment. The SHA-256 algorithm is used to encrypt the password and SSL transmission is used.
hostssl all all 10.10.0.0/24 sha256
#Any user is allowed to connect to any database from a host on the 10.10.0.0/24 network segment. The Kerberos authentication is used. In the current version, Kerberos authentication cannot be used to connect to external clients.
host all all 10.10.0.0/24 gss include_realm=1 krb_realm=HADOOP.COM
Configuration File Reference
Table 1 Parameter description
Parameter | Description | Value Range |
---|---|---|
local | Indicates that this record accepts only the Unix-domain-socket connection. If no such type of record exists, Unix-domain-socket connections are not allowed. When gsql is used to initiate a connection from a local server and the -U parameter is not specified, a Unix-domain-socket connection is established. |
- |
host | Indicates that this record accepts either a common TCP/IP-socket connection or a TCP/IP-socket connection encrypted through SSL. | - |
hostssl | Indicates that this record accepts only a TCP/IP socket connection encrypted through SSL. | For the connection encrypted through SSL, you need to apply for a digital certificate and configure related parameters. For details, see Establishing Secure TCP/IP Connections in SSL Mode. |
hostnossl | Indicates that this record accepts only a common TCP/IP socket connection. | - |
DATABASE | Database that a record matches and can access | - all: indicates that this record matches all databases. - sameuser: indicates that the database must have the same name as the user who requests database access. - samerole: indicates that this record matches a database if the user who requests the database is a member of a role having the same name as the database. - samegroup: is the same as that of samerole and indicates that this record matches a database if the user who requests the database is a member of a role having the same name as the database. - A file containing database names with an at sign (@) added before the file name, or a database list in a file using commas (,) or line feeds to separate databases. - A specific database name or a list of databases separated by commas (,) NOTE: replication indicates that if a replication link is requested, the records match the link. But this does not mean the record matches any specific database. To use a database named replication, specify it in the database column. |
USER | Users who match the record and are allowed to access databases | - all: indicates that this record matches all users. - +User role: indicates that this record matches all members that directly or indirectly belong to the role. NOTE: + is a prefix character. - A file containing usernames, with an at sign (@) added before the file name. Users in the file are separated by commas (,) or line feeds. - A specific database username or a list of users separated by commas (,) |
ADDRESS | Range of IP addresses that match the record and can be visited | IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. The IP address range can be expressed in the following two formats: - IP address/mask length Example: 10.10.0.0/24 - IP address Subnet mask Example: 10.10.0.0 255.255.255.0 NOTE: An IPv4 address matches the IPv6 connection with the corresponding address. For example, 127.0.0.1 matches IPv6 address ::ffff:127.0.0.1. |
METHOD | Authentication method used for connection | The following authentication modes are supported. For details, see [Table 2](#Table 1.2.2). - trust - reject - md5 (not recommended and not supported by default. This authentication mode can be configured using the password_encryption_type parameter.) - sha256 - cert - gss (only for authentication within MogDB) |
Authentication Mode | Remarks |
---|---|
trust | In trust mode, only the connection initiated from the local server using gsql with the -U parameter not specified is trusted. In this case, no password is required. The trust authentication mode applies to local connection of a single-user workstation, but not of a multi-user workstation. To use the trust authentication, you can use the file system permissions to control the access to the Unix-domain socket file on the server. You can use either of the following methods to control the access: - Set the unix_socket_permissions and unix_socket_group parameters. - Set the unix_socket_directory parameter to place Unix-domain socket files into a directory requiring certain access permissions. NOTICE: Setting the file system permission imposes restrictions on only Unix-domain socket connections, and does not affect local TCP/IP connections. To ensure local TCP/IP security, MogDB does not allow the trust authentication for remote connection. |
reject | Rejects connection unconditionally. This authentication mode is usually used for filtering certain hosts. |
md5 | Requires that the client must provide an MD5-encrypted password for authentication. NOTICE: This authentication method is not recommended because MD5 is not a secure encryption algorithm and may cause network risks. MogDB retains MD5 authentication and password storage to facilitate use of third-party tools (such as the TPCC test tool). |
sha256 | Requires that the client must provide a sha256-encrypted password for authentication. The password is encrypted based on the unidirectional sha256 of salt (a random number sent from the server to the client) when being transmitted, enhancing the security. |
cert | Client certificate authentication mode. In this mode, the SSL connection must be configured and the client must provide a valid SSL certificate. The user password is not required. NOTICE: This authentication mode supports only hostssl rules. |
gss | Uses the GSSAPI-based Kerberos authentication. NOTICE: - This authentication mode depends on components such as the Kerberos server. It supports only authentication for communication within MogDB. In the current version, Kerberos authentication cannot be used to connect to external clients. - Enabling Kerberos authentication within MogDB slows down the connection setup among nodes in MogDB. The performance of SQL operations during the setup is affected, but later operations are not. |
Establishing Secure TCP/IP Connections in SSL Mode
Background
MogDB supports the standard SSL (TLS 1.2). As a highly secure protocol, SSL authenticates bidirectional identification between the server and client using digital signatures and digital certificates to ensure secure data transmission.
Prerequisites
Obtain formal certificates and keys for servers and clients from the Certificate Authority (CA). Assume the private key and certificate for the server are server.key and server.crt, the private key and certificate for the client are client.key and client.crt, and the CA root certificate is cacert.pem.
Precautions
- When a user remotely accesses the primary node of the database, the SHA-256 authentication method is used.
- If internal servers are connected with each other, the trust authentication mode must be used. IP address whitelist authentication is supported.
Procedure
After a cluster is deployed, MogDB enables the SSL authentication mode by default. The server certificate, key, and root certificates have been configured. You need to set client parameters.
Set digital certificate parameters related to SSL authentication. For details, see [Table 1](#Table 1.3.1).
-
Configure client parameters.
The default client certificate, key, root certificate, and key encrypted file have been obtained from the CA authentication center. Assume that the certificate, key, and root certificate are stored in the /home/omm directory.
For bidirectional authentication, set the following parameters:
export PGSSLCERT="/home/omm/client.crt" export PGSSLKEY="/home/omm/client.key" export PGSSLMODE="verify-ca" export PGSSLROOTCERT="/home/omm/cacert.pem"
For unidirectional authentication, set the following parameters:
export PGSSLMODE="verify-ca" export PGSSLROOTCERT="/home/omm/cacert.pem"
-
Change the client key permission.
The permission of the client root certificate, key, certificate, and encrypted key file should be 600. Otherwise, the client cannot connect to MogDB through SSL.
chmod 600 client.key chmod 600 client.crt chmod 600 client.key.cipher chmod 600 client.key.rand chmod 600 cacert.pem
NOTICE: You are advised to use bidirectional authentication for security purposes. The environment variables configured for a client must contain the absolute file paths.
Authentication Mode | Description | Client Environment Variable Setting | Maintenance Suggestion |
---|---|---|---|
Bidirectional authentication (recommended) | The client verifies the server's certificate and the server verifies the client's certificate. Connection can be set up after the verification is successful. | Set the following environment variables: - PGSSLCERT - PGSSLKEY - PGSSLROOTCERT - PGSSLMODE |
This authentication mode is applicable to scenarios that require high data security. When using this method, you are advised to set the PGSSLMODE client variable to verify-ca for network data security purposes. |
Unidirectional authentication | The client verifies the server's certificate, whereas the server does not verify the client's certificate. The server loads the certificate information and sends it to the client. The client verifies the server's certificate according to the root certificate. | Set the following environment variables: - PGSSLROOTCERT - PGSSLMODE |
To prevent TCP-based link spoofing, you are advised to use the SSL certificate authentication. In addition to configuring client root certificate, you are advised to set the PGSSLMODE variable to verify-ca on the client. |

verify-full | off | The connection fails, because the client requires SSL but the server has disabled it. |
A series of encryption and authentication algorithms with different strength are supported for SSL transmission. You can modify ssl_ciphers in postgresql.conf to specify the encryption algorithm used by the database server. [Table 4](#Table 1.3.4) lists the encryption algorithms supported by the SSL.
Encryption Strength | Security | Encryption Algorithm |
---|---|---|
stronger | high | DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 |
stronger | high | DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 |
stronger | high | DHE-DSS-AES256-GCM-SHA384 |
stronger | high | DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256 |
stronger | medium | DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256 |
stronger | medium | DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 |
stronger | medium | DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA256 |
stronger | medium | DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA256 |
stronger | high | DHE-RSA-AES256-CCM |
stronger | high | DHE-RSA-AES128-CCM |
stronger | medium | DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA |
stronger | medium | DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA |
stronger | medium | DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA |
stronger | medium | DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA |
NOTE:
- Currently, SSL transmission supports encryption algorithms with the encryption strength higher than strong.
- The default value of ssl_ciphers is ALL, indicating that all encryption algorithms listed in the table are supported. You are advised to retain the default value, unless there are other special requirements on the encryption algorithm.
- If multiple encryption algorithms are specified, use semicolons (;) to separate them. For example, set ssl_ciphers='DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384;DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256;DHE-RSA-AES256-CCM' in postgresql.conf.
- If a DSS-related algorithm is to be used (such as DHE-DSS-AES256-GCM-SHA384, DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA256, and DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA), a certificate file with the DSA algorithm signature must be loaded. For details about how to use OpenSSL to generate a certificate file with the DSA algorithm signature, see the official OpenSSL documents.
- SSL authentication increases the time spent for login (creating the SSL environment) and logout processes (clearing the SSL environment), and requires extra time for encrypting the data to be transferred. It affects performance especially in frequent login, logout, and short-time query scenarios.
- If the certificate will expire in seven days, an alarm is generated in logs during connection.
Establishing Secure TCP/IP Connections in SSH Tunnel Mode
Background
To ensure secure communication between the database server and its clients, secure SSH tunnels can be established between the database server and clients. SSH is a reliable security protocol dedicated to remote login session and other network services.
Regarding the SSH client, the SSH provides the following two security authentication levels:
- Password-based security authentication: Use an account and a password to log in to a remote host. All transmitted data is encrypted. However, the connected server may not be the target server. Another server may pretend to be the real server and perform the man-in-the-middle attack.
- Key-based security authentication: A user must create a pair of keys and put the public key on the target server. This mode prevents man-in-the-middle attacks while encrypting all transmitted data. However, the entire login process may last 10s.
Prerequisites
The SSH service and the database must run on the same server.
Procedure
OpenSSH is used as an example to describe how to configure SSH tunnels. The process of configuring key-based security authentication is not described here. OpenSSH provides multiple configurations to adapt to different networks. For more details, see documents related to OpenSSH.
Establish the SSH tunnel from a local host to the database server.
ssh -L 63333:localhost:8000 username@hostIP
NOTE:
- The first digit string (63333) of the -L parameter indicates the local port ID of the tunnel and can be randomly selected.
- The second digit string (8000) indicates the remote port ID of the tunnel, which is the port ID on the server.
- localhost is the IP address of the local host, username is the username on the database server to be connected, and hostIP is the IP address of the database server to be connected.
Checking the Number of Database Connections
Background
If the number of connections reaches its upper limit, new connections cannot be created. Therefore, if a user fails to connect a database, the administrator must check whether the number of connections has reached the upper limit. The following are details about database connections:
- The maximum number of global connections is specified by the max_connections parameter. Its default value is 5000.
- The number of a user's connections is specified by CONNECTION LIMIT connlimit in the CREATE ROLE statement and can be changed using CONNECTION LIMIT connlimit in the ALTER ROLE statement.
- The number of a database's connections is specified by the CONNECTION LIMIT connlimit parameter in the CREATE DATABASE statement.
Procedure
-
Log in as the OS user omm to the primary node of the database.
-
Run the following command to connect to the database:
gsql -d mogdb -p 8000
mogdb is the name of the database to be connected, and 8000 is the port number of the database primary node.
If information similar to the following is displayed, the connection succeeds:
gsql ((MogDB 1.1.0 build 5be05d82) compiled at 2020-05-08 02:59:43 commit 2143 last mr 131) Non-SSL connection (SSL connection is recommended when requiring high-security) Type "help" for help. mogdb=#
-
View the upper limit of the number of global connections.
mogdb=# SHOW max_connections; max_connections ----------------- 800 (1 row)
800 is the maximum number of session connections.
-
View the number of connections that have been used.
For details, see [Table 1](#Table 1.5.1).

Managing SSL Certificates
Security certificates and keys generated using OpenSSL are configured in MogDB by default. In addition, MogDB provides certificate replacement interfaces to allow users to replace their certificates.
Generating Certificates
Scenarios
In the test environment, users can use either of the following methods to test digital certificates. In a customer's operating environment, only a digital certificate obtained from a CA can be used.
Prerequisites
The OpenSSL component has been installed in the Linux environment.
Generating an Automatic Authentication Certificate

Generate a CRL.
If the CRL is required, you can generate it by following the following procedure:
--Create a crlnumber file. echo '00'>./demoCA/crlnumber --Revoke a server certificate. openssl ca -config openssl.cnf -revoke server.crt --Generate the CRL sslcrl-file.crl. openssl ca -config openssl.cnf -gencrl -out sslcrl-file.crl
Replacing Certificates
Scenarios
Default security certificates and private keys required for SSL connection are configured in MogDB. You can change them as needed.
Prerequisites
The formal certificates and keys for the server and client have been obtained from the CA.
Precautions
Currently, MogDB supports only the X509v3 certificate in PEM format.
Procedure
-
Prepare for a certificate and a key.
Conventions for configuration file names on the server:
- Certificate name: server.crt
- Key name: server.key
- Key password and encrypted file: server.key.cipher and server.key.rand
Conventions for configuration file names on the client:
- Certificate name: client.crt
- Key name: client.key
- Key password and encrypted file: client.key.cipher and client.key.rand
- Certificate name: cacert.pem
- CRL file name: sslcrl-file.crl
-
Create a compressed package.
Package name: db-cert-replacement.zip
Package format: ZIP
Package file list: server.crt, server.key, server.key.cipher, server.key.rand, client.crt, client.key, client.key.cipher, client.key.rand, cacert.pem If you need to configure the CRL, the list must contain sslcrl-file.crl.
-
Invoke the certificate replacement interface to replace a certificate.
-
Upload the prepared package db-cert-replacement.zip to any path of an MogDB user.
For example: /home/xxxx/db-cert-replacement.zip
-
Run the following command to perform the replacement:
gs_om -t cert --cert-file= /home/xxxx/db-cert-replacement.zip
-
-
Restart the MogDB.
gs_om -t stop gs_om -t start
NOTE: Certificates can be rolled back to the version before the replacement. You can run the gs_om -t cert -rollback command to remotely invoke the interface or gs_om -t cert -rollback -L to locally invoke the interface. The certificate will be rolled back to the latest version that was successfully replaced.
