Connecting

Database name: name of the PostgreSQL database, for example manitou, or mail.

Login: your database username. If left blank, it defaults to the Unix username on Unix platforms.

Password: the password of the database account, possibly empty.

Host: name or IP address of the database server. Leave blank if the database server runs on the same machine than the user interface (local connection).

More parameters: optional parameters in the form of parameter=value pairs separated by spaces. Example: port=5400 sslmode=require to connect to a non-standard TCP port and with ssl mode enabled. The accepted parameters depend on the PostgreSQL version and their usage is detailed in the PostgreSQL manual.
