OK, I seem to have figured it out from re-reading libpq documentation. 
The URL field accepts connection strings of pair KEYWORD=VALUE, so one 
can enter :

host=10.0.0.1 dbname=mydb

and then move on to the user/pwd field and connection test (I imagine 
that one could enter the usr/pwd combo in the URL field too, but I 
haven't tried that yet. I will try and write something up about this in 
the next few days unless someone beats me to it.
