To use the pgAdmin client to manage your pgEdge Starfleet BYOC database and the objects that reside on it, right-click on the Servers node in the pgAdmin client, and select Register, then Server from the context menu.

The Register - Server dialog opens:

When prompted, provide authentication details on the pgAdmin Connection tab. To find connection information for your database, highlight the database name in the navigation panel, and review the Connect to your database pane shown on the Database dialog:

• Provide the name shown in the Domain field that ends with .pgedge.io in the Host name/address field.

• Provide the name of your database in the Maintenance database field.

• Replace the default Username with admin when connecting for the first time.

• Enter the password associated with the user in the Password field.

Provide the following information on the Parameters tab:

• Use the drop-down to the right of SSL mode to select require.

• Use the + at the top of the parameter table to open a new row, and use the drop-down list in the Name field to select GSS encmode. Set the Value to disable.

Complete the other tabs in the Register - Server dialog specifying your connection preferences, and select Save. The connection to your database is added to the Servers node in the Object Explorer pane, and the pgAdmin Dashboard displays current database activities.
