I think you're misunderstanding what the user-mapping stuff does. It does not silently translate the username in the connection request to something else; rather, it checks whether a user having the given external name is allowed to log in as a particular Postgres user. So there's nothing particularly wrong with your config files, but your expectation about how your Linux users should log in to the database is mistaken. dovecot needs to specify that it wants to log in as mailman, and likewise mattermost needs to specify mmuser. If it's not practical to make the client applications send non-default user names, you'll need to rename the Postgres roles to match the external user names. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
