Hello,
I know this subject is probably getting old on this list, but I have
still not been able to get my windows 95 system to connect to a linux
2.2.10 kernel system (debian potato) using jdk1.2 on a windows 95
system. I am trying to get the examples working that came with the JDBC
drivers. I have downloaded the latest JDBC2 driver from Peter Mount's
web site and I have gotten to the point where I get the following
message:
C:\jdk1.2\DSNBrowse>java example.basic jdbc:postgresql://dragon/doug
doug db
PostgreSQL basic test v6.3 rev 1
Starting constructor for basic
continueing constructor for basic
Connecting to Database URL = jdbc:postgresql://dragon/doug
Exception caught.
Something unusual has occured to cause the driver to fail. Please report
this
exception: java.sql.SQLException: Password authentication failed for
user 'doug'

Code) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:137) at example.basic.<init>(basic.java:34)
at example.basic.main(basic.java:168)
The linux system is connect to the windows 95 system via a small
network.
I have modified the pg_hba.conf file to allow for connections from my PC
using the line
host doug 207.155.49.102 255.255.255.255 password
/var/postgres/passwd
I tested the connection by using this command on the linux system:
psql -u -h localhost doug
and logged in with the same user name and password I am trying to use on
the PC. The above psql connection works fine.
Can someone point me in the correct direction on what to look for? I
think I am pretty close, but I have not been able to get any further in
the last week.
Thank you for your time.
Doug Thistlethwaite
