Or else if you want to see the latest code. The packaged
offerings may not be new enough.

In a local setting likely all regular, real GnuMed users would
be both system and PostgreSQL users. In that case standard
IDENT over domain sockets will simply work. Most users will be
remote users in most settings, however, in which case
everything just works with md5 or even ssll.

However, the problem is that a test install uses the
predefined user any-doc no matter what your local user name
is. We've got two options: also create a system account
any-doc for testing. This would be clean but shlightly more
troublesome for users. Or else we can tell PostgreSQL to allow
certain users to masquerade as any-doc. For that we have
several options.
