PostgreSQL is an object relational database system that has the features of traditional commercial database systems with enhancements to be found in next-generation DBMS systems. PostgreSQL is free and the complete source code is available.
Open port 5432
By default PostgreSQLt listen on TCP port 5432. Use the following iptables rules allows incoming client request (open port 5432) for server IP address 202.54.1.20 :
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 1024:65535 -d 202.54.1.20 --dport 5432 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.20 --sport 5432 -d 0/0 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
As posted earlier, you do not wish give access to everyone. For example in web hosting company or in your own development center, you need to gives access to POSTGRES database server from web server only. Following example allows POSTGRES database server access (202.54.1.20) from Apache web server (202.54.1.50) only:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.50 --sport 1024:65535 -d 202.54.1.20 --dport 5432 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.20 --sport 5432 -d 202.54.1.50 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
Allow outgoing POSTGRES client request (made via postgresql command line client or perl/php script), from firewall host 202.54.1.20:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.20 --sport 1024:65535 -d 0/0 --dport 5432 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 5432 -d 202.54.1.20 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
