Search and Update pg_hba.conf

Postgres is installed as a prerequisite. Upon installation, we need to search and modify the pg_hba.conf file to allow connections to the system database. How to achieve this?

Re: Search and Update pg_hba.conf

Hello,

To implement such behavior you can proceed like this:

1. add the postgres setup as a pre-install prerequisite
2. use a file search to search for the installed pg_hba.conf file and try to extract the parent folder from its path using a custom action; have a look on the "Find the folder which contains a file" section of our user guide article
3. then just go to "Files and Folders" page and create a property-based folder using the property where you saved the parent folder path of "pg_hba.conf" file; here using our "Text Update" or "XML Update" feature define the changes you want to ad dto "pg_hba.conf" file

Let us know if you have any questions or doubts.

All the best,
Daniel
