Password Synchronization with PostgreSQL Server

ADSelfService Plus’ Real-time Password Synchronizer helps ensure users have only one password between different applications to reduce password related issues. This means, every time a user resets or changes their Active Directory password, the new password will automatically be synced with the user’s PostgreSQL account.

Prerequisites:

Note:
  • Use the tab key as the delimiter. If there are any other spaces other than a tab between the values, the configuration will not work.
  • Install the Password Sync Agent to synchronize native password changes and resets.

Configuration steps

  1. Log into ADSelfService Plus admin console with admin credentials.
  2. Navigate to Configuration → Self-Service → Password Sync/ Single Sign On.
  3. Select the PostgreSQL application.
    Note: You can also find PostgreSQL application that you need from the search bar located in the left pane or the alphabet wise navigation option in the right pane.
  4. Enter the Application Name and Description.
  5. In the Assign Policies field, select the policies for which password sync need to be enabled.
    Note:ADSelfService Plus allows you to create OU and group-based policies for your AD domains. To create a policy, go to Configuration → Self-Service → Policy Configuration → Add New Policy.
  6. Select Enable Password Sync.
  7. Enter the System Name/IP Address of the server on which PostgreSQL Server instance is deployed.
  8. Enter the name of the PostgreSQL Database for which the password sync is to be configured.
  9. Enter the Port Number used by the PostgreSQL.
  10. Enter the User Name and Password of the PostgreSQL user account.
  11. Click Add Application.

Troubleshooting steps

    Error: Connection refused or Invalid System Name or Port Number
    • Ensure that you have typed the port number used by the targeted PostgreSQL server instance.
    • Check if the port in the remote server is reachable using the telnet command.

      telnet hostName/ipaddress portnumber

    • Check the status of the PostgreSQL server. If it is shutdown, start it. Check if the PostgreSQL server is reachable. If it is unreachable, check the network connections.
