## Ted To (ted@xxxxxxx): > Thank you -- I added two lines to the hba file to allow for ident > authentication, restarted postgres and still the same errors. You probably don't want "ident" authentication - that's the thing with "identd" (see RfC 1413), which even 20 years ago was only used in connection with IRC, but not really for "authentication". You'd rather want "scram-sha-256" as the authentication method (hoping that whatever-go-uses can do that - come on, we got that in version 10), or (if that's not possible) "md5". See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/auth-methods.html and https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/auth-pg-hba-conf.html . Note that "password_encryption" has to match that authentication method from pg_hba.conf, that's described in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/auth-password.html .
