[Qgis-user] sharing qgis project networking

[Saulteau Don]

Hey Cecilia,

when connecting over LAN, by default, the host is your computer name, and
the port is 5432 if it hadn't been changed in the postgresql.conf and your
firewall has to have that port open.

If users are connecting via WAN, then your router also has to forward that
port to your machine and users need to enter your WAN IP as the host (could
also use a DNS for external users if you don't have a static IP).

There's a little bit of config required to get it working right and also
consider using SSL to encrypt user logins over the WAN.

For users, they should ideally have their own login and password because
maybe you don't want everyone making permanent changes to the project in
the database.

There's a postgresql mailing list for help and lots of online resources for
configuring postgresql.
