Thanks Daniel.
After adding the password, now ssh connection to the cluster fabmnet works:

You might want to take a look at:

https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/postgresql.html


And may be the fact the it's compulsory to add a password is testified also by the fact that changing the ownership of the database while adding a password, lets connect with ssh to the database:

First it is SSL.
Second password and SSL are two different things. This is covered in the auth file pg_hba.conf:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/auth-pg-hba-conf.html

What you are seeing below is dependent on whether you connect using a host(-h localhost) or a socket(no -h). That behavior is in turn determined by the settings in pg_hba.conf.

Also to help down the road when you are setting up the fabric-ca server you need to remember you are now running two Postgres servers:

Ver Cluster Port Status Owner    Data directory                 Log file
11 fabmnet 5433 online postgres /var/lib/postgresql/11/fabmnet /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-11-fabmnet.log 11 main 5432 online postgres /var/lib/postgresql/11/main /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-11-main.log

The most important part is that the fabric server needs to connect to the one using port 5433. FYI, this also means that it is not necesssary to use the --cluster option to psql. Just set the appropriate port -p 5432 for maon and -p 5433 for fabmnet.

More below.

postgres=# CREATE USER fabmnet_admin;
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# ALTER USER fabmnet_admin WITH PASSWORD 'A';
ALTER ROLE

postgres=# ALTER DATABASE fabmnet_ca OWNER TO fabmnet_admin;
ALTER DATABASE
postgres=# \l

(base) postgres@pc:~$ psql -h localhost --cluster 11/fabmnet
Password for user postgres:
psql: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "postgres"
FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "postgres"

This failed because you did not specify a database or username, so by default psql used the system user(postgres) as the database name and the user name. I'm guesing you do not have a password set up for the postgres user yet. Pretty sure if you left off the -h localhost you would have connected as Ubuntu sets up trust authentication for postgres user on local socket.

(base) postgres@pc:~$ psql -h localhost --cluster 11/fabmnet -d fabmnet_ca -U fabmnet_admin
Password for user fabmnet_admin:
psql (11.5 (Ubuntu 11.5-1.pgdg18.04+1))
SSL connection (protocol: TLSv1.3, cipher: TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, bits: 256, compression: off)
Type "help" for help.
fabmnet_ca=>


Now I have to fix the interface between fabric-ca and postgresql-11 on both sides. And I will let you know how it is going

    Did you set a password for the postgres user in that newly created
    cluster?
    If not, try psql --cluster 11/fabmnet (without -h localhost),
    it should connect you without a password,
    then set a password with the \password command in psql,
    then try again with -h localhost.
