You sure you are connecting as correct user? Remember absent a -U the user will be either your system user name or what is specified in a ENV variable. > > > ps aux | grep pgbou > > postgres 5567 0.0 0.0 17096 960 ?

Auth_type in my case is "trust". Do I need to md5 the password? According to docs: http://pgbouncer.projects.postgresql.org/doc/config.html#_generic_settings "auth_type How to authenticate users. md5: Use MD5-based password check. auth_file may contain both MD5-encrypted or plain-text passwords. This is the default authentication method. crypt Use crypt(3) based password check. auth_file must contain plain-text passwords. plain Clear-text password is sent over wire. trust No authentication is done. Username must still exist in auth_file. any Like the trust method, but the username given is ignored. Requires that all databases are configured to log in as specific user. Additionally, the console database allows any user to log in as admin.
