<code class="filename">auth_delay</code> causes the server to pause briefly before
reporting authentication failure, to make brute-force attacks on database
passwords more difficult. Note that it does nothing to prevent
denial-of-service attacks, and may even exacerbate them, since processes
that are waiting before reporting authentication failure will still consume
connection slots.
</p><p>
In order to function, this module must be loaded via
<a class="xref" href="runtime-config-client.html#GUC-SHARED-PRELOAD-LIBRARIES">shared_preload_libraries</a> in <code class="filename">postgresql.conf</code>.

The number of milliseconds to wait before reporting an authentication
failure. The default is 0.

These parameters must be set in <code class="filename">postgresql.conf</code>.
Typical usage might be:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
# postgresql.conf
shared_preload_libraries = 'auth_delay'
auth_delay.milliseconds = '500'
