I can't understand what is going on with my PostgreSQL server. For
some reason after I GRANT my role 'carlos' to the 'dba' group role, I
lose the ability to login. I've reset the password over and over for
'carlos' and even reversing the grant doesn't remedy the
authentication failure. The logs are extremely vague:
2013-04-14 00:41:52 EDT FATAL: password authentication failed for user "carlos"
How are you doing the above, via psql. pgAdmin, other or some combination?
Do you have a .pgpass file set up?
As you can see I've removed 'dba' role from 'carlos' but he still
can't login. My only option is to DROP the 'carlos' role and re-create
him.
The problem occurs when I:
GRANT dba TO carlos;
I don't understand which role (carlos or dba) needs INHERIT or
NOINHERIT if that's causing this...
