New page

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:
<pre>
yum update postgresql-devel
</pre>

The base postgres RPMs will be installed in the following paths:

<pre>
pgconfigdir=/var/lib/pgsql/data
pgbindir=/usr/bin
pgincludedir=/usr/include/pgsql
pglibdir=/usr/lib
pgsharedir=/usr/share
</pre>

Download the Veil packet:
<pre>
wget http://pgfoundry.org/frs/download.php/1601/Veil-0.9.6.tar.gz
</pre>

Compile and install it:
<pre>
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
</pre>

Configure postgres server to load the new shared object:
<pre>
vi /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
</pre>

look for the shared_libriries directive and add the following:
<pre>
shared_preload_libraries = 'veil.so'
</pre>

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.
