### Version
This resource first became available in v1.31.0 of InSpec.
## Syntax
An `postgres_ident_conf` InSpec audit resource block declares client authentication data that should be tested:
describe postgres_ident_conf.where { pg_username == 'filter_value' } do
its('attribute') { should eq ['value'] }
end
where
* `'attribute'` is a attribute in the pg ident configuration file
* `'filter_value'` is the value that is to be filtered for
* `'value'` is the value that is to be matched expected
<br>
## Properties

its('map_name') { should eq ['value'] }
end
### pg_username([String])
