Connecting to pgEdge Distributed PostgreSQL (Cloud Edition)

Any client that can negotiate a connection using libpq can connect to the PostgreSQL server (port 5432) on a Cloud database; this applies to custom clients as well. All authenticating clients must:

  • require an SSL connection.
  • disable GSS encoding (gssencmode).
  • use an SSH key when connecting.

Additionally, you must open ports for connection when creating your cluster.

Connecting to a Cluster

You can connect to a Cloud cluster with SSH. IP addresses for each node in your cluster are displayed on the Nodes pane of the Cluster information dialog.
