Configuring .pgpass
===================

TPA creates ``~postgres/.pgpass`` by default with the passwords for the
``postgres_user`` (``postgres`` or ``entreprisedb`` by default depending
on the ``postgres_flavour`` ) in it, for use between cluster instances.

You can set ``pgpass_users`` to create entries for a different list of
users. Note that the ``pgpass_users`` list overrides default values, so
the ``postgres_user`` (``postgres`` /``enterprisedb`` ) is NOT included
unless you explicitly include it in the ``pgpass_users`` list.

You can also include the ``postgres/pgpass`` role from hook scripts to
create your own ``.pgpass`` file:

.. code:: yaml


   - include_role: name=postgres/pgpass
     vars:
       pgpassfile: ~otheruser/.pgpass
       pgpass_owner: otheruser
       pgpass_group: somegroup
       pgpass_users:
       - xyzuser
       - pqruser
