dblink_connect fails

[James Sewell <james.sewell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,

I have a Windows PostgreSQL server where dblink_connect fails to pick up the current user as follows:

#psql -h localhost -U postgres ffm

ffm=# select version();

                           version

-------------------------------------------------------------

 PostgreSQL 9.4.5, compiled by Visual C++ build 1800, 64-bit

(1 row)

ffm=#

ffm=# SELECT dblink_connect('master', 'dbname=ffm');

ERROR:  could not establish connection

DETAIL:  FATAL:  role "PRDSWIDEGRID01$" does not exist

ffm=#

ffm=# select user;

 current_user

--------------

 phxowner

(1 row)

ffm=# select session_user;

 session_user

--------------

 postgres

(1 row)

ffm=# SELECT dblink_connect('master', 'dbname=ffm user=postgres');

 dblink_connect

----------------

 OK

(1 row)

Has anyone seen this before? It seems very odd to me, I have another identical machine (except for being on 9.4.0) which this works on.

Cheers,
