<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Hello,
<br>
<br>
In my structure we are currently migrate our GIS architecture from ESRI to Qgis & Postgres.<br>
We would like to know the most recommended method for authenticating PG via Qgis knowing that :<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt"><br>
• We want to avoid transmitting login / password information between users of the same project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt"></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">• Securing the data flow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt">• we are keeping a few Arcgis licences, and they should have access to the DB<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt"><br>
I’ve seen that Qgis can store PG login and password in it’s own local storage and in the case we define a common authcfg ID for all our users it’s possible for several users to share the same project without transferring any information/ rights.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt"><br>
I have carried out conclusive tests; however, I would like to ensure <b>that this is a recommended practice and that this solution is sustainable over time</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt">Our service provider advises against securing our connection via an SSL certificate. For them, IP filtering is sufficient. However, I would like to know if there are any specific advantages
or disadvantages to using an SSL certificate with QGIS ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt">Also, do you know if a Let's Encrypt type certificate works well in this context, or are there known compatibility issues?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt">Thank you in advance for your feedback.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
