Please provide more details about what this step #2 actually means.

Details about exactly what you're doing to connect here would be
helpful.

CONNECT privileges are needed to be able to connect to the database, so
it's not surprising that you needed to GRANT them to the user after
REVOKE'ing them from PUBLIC.  What's not clear is what you're actually
trying to do and what you're expecting to work that apparently isn't.

Thanks!
