Re: 8.0 Beta3 worked, RC1 didn't! - Mailing list pgsql-general

The SSL line in postgresql.conf has not been touched.  By default it should
be set to false.  Also, the pg_hba file is set to allow all clients in, no
authentication (TRUST).

I have not seen this problem in any other installation.  Note as well, the
only way to access the server in question is via a remote connection (Remote
Administrator).  I do remember, however, that even before attempting remote
connections to the database, the same error message would also occur
'locally' (through remote administrator, but I don't see how this interface
would factor into the problem.

I can't see how this would be a result of a configuration setting.  If I
install RC1 and attempt a connection locally (before modifying any configs)
it fails with the aforementioned error message.  Uninstall RC1 and install
beta 3 and it works (this is repeatable).

One more thing...I may be wrong on this one because I was not paying
attention as well as I should have, but I seem to remember that following
one of my RC1 installation attempts, I was able to log into psql locally,
but only once.  After that I was denied every time.  Again, I *think* this
is what happened!

Thanks,
Peter

The clients connecting remotely... do they support SSL? It looks
like to me that you have ssl enabled. I would check the pg_hba.conf
and the postgresql.conf for your ssl configuration.
