Hi all, hope this is the right list.
I have postgres 8.1 running on linux. We have tests that mostly run on
windows. I want to run these tests on linux.
On these windows boxes, pg_hba.conf has just one line:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
They use 'postgres' as the user and password to connect to a db.
I couldn't start postgres on linux with just that line, so on linux I
have:
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all ident sameuser
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 ident sameuser
I created my db as:
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE maragato_test OWNER postgres;
I seem to have a user 'postgres' - I'm using the default.
postgres=# SELECT * FROM "pg_user";
usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd |
valuntil | useconfig
----------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+----------+----------+-----------
postgres | 10 | t | t | t | ******** |
|
However, I get this error:
/home/postgres> psql -h localhost maragato_test postgres
Password for user postgres:
psql: FATAL: autenticação do tipo password falhou para usuário
"postgres"
Sorry - couldn't get local en_US working. That translates to:
Authentication of type password failed for user postgres. I think that
means 'ident password' . I tried to connect with java and I get the
same error.
I just need to connect to db 'maragato_test' on local host using
'postgres´ as the user and password, using md5.
Any ideas?
Robert
