I'm trying to enable "ident" authentication on my Windows machine using
PostgreSQL 9.1
However as soon as I add the following line to pg_hba.conf
host all all ::1/128 ident sameuser
"sameuser" was removed in PostgreSQL 8.4. Now you just use "ident" if
you want that behavior.
Thanks, I somehow missed that.
It probably told you this in the logfile when you did reload - for
security reasons, the details of the error are never given to an
unauthenticated client.
No, I only got the could not load pg_hba.conf" error message.
Ideally I would like to make "ident" to work with a custom map but using
"ident tkmap". But that throws the same error which isn't really surprising
as "ident tkmap" is not working either.
ident map=tkmap
is what you want. See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/auth-methods.html#AUTH-IDENT
I still get an authentication error but probably that's because ident is indeed not available on Windows.
It's not that important as I just wanted to play around with it.
Thanks for the help.
Regards
Thomas
