Hi ^^ I'm using Logical replication. I made subscription like below.
=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION mysub CONNECTION 'host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port=5432
user=postgres dbname=mydb password=<password>' PUBLICATION mypub;
NOTICE: created replication slot "mysub" on publisher
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
But I wonder if I can use .pgpass file to provide password. Of course, I tried it. But it failed like below.
=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION mysub CONNECTION 'host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port=5432
user=postgres dbname=mydb' PUBLICATION mypub;
ERROR: could not connect to the publisher: fe_sendauth: no password supplied
[My .pgpass]
localhost:5432:postgres:postgres:<password>
localhost:5432:mydb:postgres:<password>
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5432:mydb:postgres:<password>
This .pgpass file works well for pgAgent.
Can I use .pgpass file for logical replication? or Should I write my password in CREATE statement? If writing password in CREATE command is the only answer, is it secure?
