To make use of this option the server must be built with
<acronym>GSSAPI</acronym> support. Otherwise,
the <literal>hostgssenc</literal> record is ignored except for logging
a warning that it cannot match any connections.

<para>
This record type has the opposite behavior of <literal>hostgssenc</literal>;
it only matches connection attempts made over
TCP/IP that do not use <acronym>GSSAPI</acronym> encryption.

<term><replaceable>database</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies which database name(s) this record matches. The value
<literal>all</literal> specifies that it matches all databases.
The value <literal>sameuser</literal> specifies that the record
matches if the requested database has the same name as the
requested user. The value <literal>samerole</literal> specifies that
the requested user must be a member of the role with the same
name as the requested database. (<literal>samegroup</literal> is an
obsolete but still accepted spelling of <literal>samerole</literal>.)
Superusers are not considered to be members of a role for the
purposes of <literal>samerole</literal> unless they are explicitly
members of the role, directly or indirectly, and not just by
virtue of being a superuser.
The value <literal>replication</literal> specifies that the record
matches if a physical replication connection is requested, however, it
doesn't match with logical replication connections. Note that physical
replication connections do not specify any particular database whereas
logical replication connections do specify it.
Otherwise, this is the name of a specific
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> database or a regular expression.
Multiple database names and/or regular expressions can be supplied by
separating them with commas.
</para>
<para>
If the database name starts with a slash (<literal>/</literal>), the
remainder of the name is treated as a regular expression.
(See <xref linkend="posix-syntax-details"/> for details of
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname>'s regular expression syntax.)
</para>
<para>
A separate file containing database names and/or regular expressions
can be specified by preceding the file name with <literal>@</literal>.

<term><replaceable>user</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies which database user name(s) this record
matches. The value <literal>all</literal> specifies that it
matches all users. Otherwise, this is either the name of a specific
database user, a regular expression (when starting with a slash
(<literal>/</literal>), or a group name preceded by <literal>+</literal>.
(Recall that there is no real distinction between users and groups
in <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>; a <literal>+</literal> mark really means
<quote>match any of the roles that are directly or indirectly members
of this role</quote>, while a name without a <literal>+</literal> mark matches
only that specific role.) For this purpose, a superuser is only
considered to be a member of a role if they are explicitly a member
of the role, directly or indirectly, and not just by virtue of
being a superuser.
Multiple user names and/or regular expressions can be supplied by
separating them with commas.
