Hi All-
I'm having some issues with connecting to my servers if I put 'md5' as the
connection method in my pg_hba.conf (which is what I want!). If I put
'trust', I can connect without any issues.
I built 8.0.8 from source because we wanted to use SSL; and my pg_hba.conf
file currently looks as follows:
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
# IPv4 local connections:
#host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
#host all all ::1/128 trust
hostssl all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
If I change the hostssl line to: hostssl all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5, restart
the server, and attempt to connect via pgadmin, I see the message
'Connecting to the database... Failed.' If I attempt to connect to a
database using the command line:
C:\msys\1.0\local\pgsql\bin>psql -d apt -U postgres
Password:
psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "127.0.0.1", user
"postgres", database "apt", SSL off
C:\msys\1.0\local\pgsql\bin>
But if I change the hostssl line back to: hostssl all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
and restart the server, I can connect through both pgadmin and the command
line.
Would I have to had done something special when building Postgres to enable
the use of md5? My command line parameters were:
./configure --with-openssl --with-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib
--without-zlib
Thanks in advance for all of your help! If you need any more info, just let
me know. I really need to get this issue resolved.
Thanks,
-Jeanna
