1. Setup the Database

The database section of the configuration file is for connecting to a PostgreSQL database to store linked accounts, alt accounts, bans, and authentication codes. Make sure that the username you enter, has has permission to create schemas.

Once you have postgres install enter psql again and enter the following commands to allow MCAuth to manage it's own part in the database.

Create the user & password

CREATE USER mcauth WITH PASSWORD 'password'; # Change 'password'

Give mcauth access to create schemas

GRANT CREATE ON DATABASE postgres TO mcauth;

Now fill in your config.yml

database:
  host:                 "localhost"
  port:                 5432
  username:             "mcauth"
  password:             "password"
  database_name:        "postgres" # this should be "postgres"
  max_connections:      50
  max_idle_connections: 50
