RE: pg_dump Error in Windows - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Same error with pg_dumpall it does not accept the postgres default password

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\bin>pg_dumpall > postgres

Password:

pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": FATAL:  password authentication failed for user " testusr"

Hello All,

When I am trying to take backup using pg_dump.exe , it’s asking for password, when I provide the default password of “postgres” it never accepts and throws below error-

pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "test_database" failed: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "testusr"

Is there any changes I need to do in pg_hba.conf file?

Please suggest a solution.

Thanks
