Veil is a shared postgres library, used to introduce complex access control onto the DB.
To install Veil on a RedHat based ditribution, be sure to have the devel package of your postgres installation:
yum update postgresql-devel
The base postgres RPMs will be installed in the following paths:
pgconfigdir=/var/lib/pgsql/data pgbindir=/usr/bin pgincludedir=/usr/include/pgsql pglibdir=/usr/lib pgsharedir=/usr/share
Download the Veil packet:
wget http://pgfoundry.org/frs/download.php/1601/Veil-0.9.6.tar.gz
Compile and install it:
cd /usr/local/src tar xvzf /downloadpath/Veil-0.9.6.tar.gz cd Veil-0.9.6 ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-pgconfigdir=/var/lib/pgsql/data --with-pgbindir=/usr/bin \ --with-pgincludedir=/usr/include/pgsql --with-pglibdir=/usr/lib --with-pgsharedir=/usr/share make make install
Configure postgres server to load the new shared object:
vi /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
look for the shared_libriries directive and add the following:
shared_preload_libraries = 'veil.so'
Restart the postgres server.
For other OSs or postgres installation not based on binary packets, the procedure is very similar; just pay attention to set the correct postgres paths in the configure command.
