Same error with pg_dumpall it does not accept the postgres default password

 

 

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\bin>pg_dumpall > postgres

Password:

pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": FATAL:  password authentication failed for user " testusr"

Hello All,

 

When I am trying to take backup using pg_dump.exe , it’s asking for password, when I provide the default password of “postgres” it never accepts and throws below error-

 

pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "test_database" failed: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "testusr"

 

Is there any changes I need to do in pg_hba.conf file?

 

Please suggest a solution.

 

Thanks

Soumik
