PostgreSQL version: 9.4.1
Operating system: linux
Description:
Tried to use ~/.pgpass file to automatically specify the password when I use
the psql console app. according to the info from "PostgreSQL 9.4.0
Documentation", Section 31.15. The Password File.
Postgresql is configured to use md5 for login.
file: pg_hba.conf
-----------------
local all all md5
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all all ::1/128 md5
file: ~/.pgpass
---------------
#hostname : port : database : username : password
* : 5432 : * : postgres : somepassword
When I exec psql without specifying the password, I cannot login...
$ psql --host=localhost --port=5432 --username=postgres --no-password
psql: fe_sendauth: no password supplied
