In fact when i don't pass the password for the specified username, i get logged in but it should not happened. if i specify wrong password but valid username then also it gives me entry into postgres interactive mode, also from the c++ connection object. please tell me how to implement the security using password in postgres.

i'd check the pg_hba.conf file and make sure it's not set to accept connections from anyone
look for a line that has a broad mask and trust.
have a look at the pg_hba.conf file and it explains how to limit user access.
might be your connect string as well if you are connecting as user 'postgres' ....
