`Login Page`:index:
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
Use the *Login* page to log in to pgAdmin:
|
|

|

|
|
:alt: pgAdmin login page
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Use the fields in the *Login* page to authenticate your connection. There are
|
|
two ways to authenticate your connection:
|
|
|
|
- From pgAdmin version 4.21 onwards, support for LDAP authentication
|
|
has been added. If LDAP authentication has been enabled for your pgAdmin
|
|
application, you can use your LDAP credentials to log in to pgAdmin:
|
|
|
|
* Provide the LDAP username in the *Email Address/Username* field.
|
|
|
|
* Provide your LDAP password in the Password field.
|
|
|
|
- Alternatively, you can use the following information to log in to pgAdmin:
|
|
|
|
* Provide the email address associated with your account in the
|
|
*Email Address/Username* field.
|
|
|
|
* Provide your password in the *Password* field.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Login* button to securely log into pgAdmin.
|
|
|
|
Please note that if the pgAdmin server is restarted, then you will be logged
|
|
out. You need to re-login to continue.
|
|
|
|
Recovering a Lost Password
|
|
**************************
|
|
|
|
If you cannot supply your password, click the *Forgotten your password?* button
|
|
to launch a password recovery utility.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/login_recover.png
|
|
:alt: pgAdmin recover login password
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
* Provide the email address associated with your account in the *Email Address*
|
|
field.
|
|
* Click the *Recover Password* button to initiate recovery. An email, with
|
|
directions on how to reset a password, will be sent to the address entered in
|
|
the *Email Address* field.
|
|
|
|
If you have forgotten the email associated with your account, please contact
|
|
your administrator.
|
|
|
|
Please note that your LDAP password cannot be recovered using this page. If
|
|
you enter your LDAP username in the *Email Address/Username* field, and then
|
|
enter your email to recover your password, an error message will be displayed
|
|
asking you to contact the LDAP administrator to recover your LDAP password.

|
Avoiding a bruteforce attack
|
|
****************************
|
|
|
|
You have the possibility to lock an account by setting ``MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS``
|
|
once it has reached the maximum number of login attempts.
|
|
You can disable this feature by setting the value to zero.
