[Qgis-user] QGIS server and pg_service.conf

[Thomas Schüttenberg]

Hi there!

I wonder if/how the QGIS server (2.18) is able to use PostgeSQL service connection files [1]. 

I have a project file with postgis layers, that are connected via the service parameter (instead of hostname/port...). These are defined in pg_service.conf and work.

When I serve this project with QGIS server 2.18 as wms, connecting the wms (in QGIS desktop) works, but it does not contain any layers.

A WMS made from the same project and datasource but with full database credentials works als usual.

Thanks for any hint, maybe I just miss something.

Cheers
Thomas
