I have been asked to evaluate Oracle, mysql and postgresql as a possible
replacement for our existing Oracle and MsSQL databases. Oracle and
mysql I pretty much have covered. Postgresql, OTOH, is somewhat less
cooperative.
I have the software (v 8.4.13) installed on 64 bit Centos 6. It is
listening on all available interfaces and netstat confirms this. I
created an additional user for the postgres db:
postgres=# \du
List of roles
Role name | Attributes | Member of
-----------+-------------+-----------
postgres | Superuser | {}
: Create role
: Create DB
stephen | Superuser | {}
: Create role
: Create DB
I assigned passwords using "alter role etc.."
The problem is that no authentication method except trust seems to work.
in pg_hba.conf:
local all all trust
host all all 198.204.114.0/24 md5
I've tried both of the above users and get the same error each time:
psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "<username>"
I tried changing "md5" to "password" and "pam" without success. Onlt
"trust" works As near as I can tell by reading the documentation, it is
setup correctly but I have, obviously, done something wrong.
Any hints on where to start looking?
