When you install the PostgreSQL database, the

postgresql.conf

file is automatically created in the following directory:

<Secure Agent installation directory>\apps\process-engine\data\PostGreSql\Data

The configuration parameters in the

postgresql.conf

file define the default values of the server properties related to auditing, authentication, encryption, and other behaviors.

The

postgresql.conf

file is overwritten every time you install or upgrade to a new version of the PostgreSQL database. Do not update the

postgresql.conf

file for any customized behavior, because the changes are lost when the file is overwritten.

Use the

user.conf

file to override the default values that are defined in the

postgresql.conf

file.

If the

user.conf

file does not already exist, create the file in the same directory as the

postgresql.conf

file, and override the values. Changes take effect after you restart the PostgreSQL database.
