When setting up your connection in your application:
Use the hostname of your PostgreSQL server
Enter ‘readonly’ as the username
Use the secure password you set in step 2
Specify the database name you granted access to in step 3
For additional security, consider using SSL connections and restricting the
‘readonly’ user to specific IP addresses if your application connects from
known IP ranges.
Check the PostgreSQL log files for detailed error messages
Verify that all necessary privileges have been granted
Ensure the user has been created successfully
Confirm that your PostgreSQL server allows remote connections if your application is hosted externally
Check that you’re using the correct hostname, username, password, and database name in your application
For further assistance, consult your database administrator or refer to the official PostgreSQL documentation.By following this guide, you’ve created a secure, read-only PostgreSQL user that’s perfectly suited for connecting to your application. This setup ensures that your data remains protected while allowing your application to perform necessary read operations effectively.
